每日口說挑戰狗聽不聽得懂人話？家裡的毛孩真的知道我在想什麼嗎？Does My Dog Know What I'm Thinking?

Hey, guys. It's me again. How’s your week going so far? Having a rough week? Well, hang in there! The weekend is just around the corner. Today we are going to talk about a joyful topic. That's right! We're going to talk about the puppies! Have you ever wondered if dogs know what we're talking about? Dogs sometimes seem to react to what we say. For example, they get excited when we say we're going to take them for a walk and get frightened when getting scolded. But do they really understand our words? Let's watch the video to learn about how dogs process our words and the meanings behind the words.

And today’s sentence is…

Alright, that's all for today's episode. I never had a pet before, but I've always wanted to get a dog. As the saying goes, dogs are man's best friend! Humans have a special connection with dogs. They are the only non-primate animals that would seek out eye contact with us. Maybe they still can't fully understand what we are trying to say, but that is okay. It's nice to know that they're capable of understanding us, and more importantly, they genuinely want to know what we mean. What do you think your pet would say to you if animals could communicate with us? I don't know. Maybe my pet will tell me to shut up. Just kidding. Anyways, let me know your answers in the comment section with your recordings, and hope you enjoyed today's content. I'm Nina, see you next time.
