This adopted chihuahua, Max, didnt listen to Kalee McGees commands due to his language barrier.
Yet soon enough, McGee sorted out where the problem was.
We figured it out: he only speaks Spanish… she said.
Our little chihuahua doesnt know English and has been looking at us like what are you talking about?
I just dont speak his language, McGee shared on social media.
This study started with Laura V. Cuaya and herdog, Kun-Kun.
My dog, Kun-kun, came with me.
Before, I had only talked to him in Spanish.
But maybe dogs do not bother.
After all, we never draw our dogs attention to how a specific language sounds.
We designed a brain imaging study to find this out, she added.
This study showed for the first time that a non-human brain can distinguish between two languages.
Still, we do not know whether this capacity is dogs specialty, or general among non-human species.
Future studies will have to find this out, concluded researcherAttila Andics, senior author of the study.
Thestudyhas discovered that the way dogs respond to language and speech could depend on their age and breed.
Surprisingly, many people shared similar experiences on social media
