Dog can distinguish between "to ball take frisbee" and "to frisbee take ball".

If grammar can be considered a proxy for intelligence, Chaser ranks above certain posters on PatNet.

Me included (hangs head, sags jowls, puppy faces in shame)

I rescued a neo mastiff about three years ago, and overtime, he's taught me plenty. One things for certain, never underestimate a dogs ability to learn (or at least mimic like most rest of us monkey see monkey do, looky loo's)

Standing on his giant hindquarters to use his front hands to turn the door knob and open it, isn't even his most impressive accomplishment.

I don't leash or collar him, as mastiffs are known to protect the castle, and he won't ever leave me alone. But one night, he decided to wander across the street. I caught a glimpse of him and began screaming at him, so he'd know how wrong his actions were,,,and dontcha know, he tried to play it off by running down the street so he could cross out of sight, and came panting up from the back yard, as if. To say "watcha talkin bout willis, I was out back like i's s'posed to be"
