Meet the dog who knows 1,022 words.

Can dogs learn like children ?

Chaser the border collie can find objects by name.




Today

Meet the dog who knows 1,022 words - TODAY Pets & Animals - TODAYshow.com


They say every dog has its day — and Wednesday was that day for Chaser, a 7-year-old border collie whose owner purports that the dog can recognize 1,022 nouns.



On TODAY, Chaser demonstrated that dogs may have some of the same capability to learn as human children.

On bended knee next to the alert-looking canine, anchor Matt Lauer ordered: “Chaser, fetch tennis.”

And after just a few seconds of nosing around the 25 items that her owner, Dr. John Pilley, had brought to the set, the dog located a tennis ball and promptly dropped it into a tub on Lauer’s command.

Chaser also fetched a peppermint chew toy in response to Lauer’s command — but it was when he instructed her to “fetch SpongeBob” that she really showed her mettle.

“SpongeBob is not out there,” Pilley told Lauer.
But in seconds, Chaser wagged her tail while eagerly shaking a SpongeBob flying disc in her mouth.

“No, it’s right there!” Lauer said.

Pilley laughed and commented: “She sees better than I do.”

My buddy had a border collie named Lad, and he was the smartest animal I have ever seen to this day. If 3 or 4 of us would go to my buds house, he would introduce each of us by name to the dog,once. Then call him to himself and tell him....Lad, go to Stu...and Lad would run right to Stu, and so on for all of us. He understood everything his master said to him....get the paper, get me a beer, and on. Amazing breed, through history bred solely for intelligence, not appearance.
