The Dog Who Knows 1,000 Words | CUTE ANIMALS (Episode 5)

[@sheryljohnson5839]

I grew up with a Border Collie. She would actually 'herd' my brothers and myself to stay in our yard, away from dangers on the farm. When we grew older she understood so very much of what we said to her. She was just astounding. Her one drawback was fear of thunder. Poor girl had to be brought inside during storms. If we happened to be out and about on the farm when a storm rolled in we just had to hold her big old self in our laps until it was over. She was the perfect dog to grow up with.

[@PeterHBne1]

They are such beautiful dogs with gorgeous natures. Soooooooo intelligent it is frightening. I used to take one of mine down to a play park where there were stacks of kiddies. Parents would all be standing around with themselves, so I'd pick my moment and tell Pfeiffer (the B.C) "Get em". and she would zoom off and just start rounding up about a dozen or more children. Fusck it was funny to watch. Eventually a parent would express concern come over and ask what was happening and you'd have to call her off in between giggles. She loved it for fun And yeah I've had four and they were all utterly terrified of thunder and fireworks. Turn into quivering, dribbling fools in your lap trying to get inside you via your lap to get away from the noise. In storm season it was a nightmare because you'd have to monitor the weather constantly and at the hint of a storm leave work and rush home. The boss thought it was ridiculous. But it was that or they escape the yard and disappear.

[@Christusolus]

This is the most beautiful thing I have ever read.

[@peterh5536]

+Christusolus Thanks mate! I so miss having one. There is a absolute beachfront pub so every arvo I go down and hijack owners walking them. Without fail I get a B.C hit or four. They can be rude fuckers and completely ignore you no matter what you try for interrupting exercise or be all over you like a cheap suit. :-)

[@Christusolus]

Haha. I was actually talking to Sheryl Johnson, but yours is awesome too

[@Djuncle]

That's how my Bearded Collie currnetly is. She can't stop herding us, but whenever there's thunder, we cover her up and cuddle with her until it's over. Such a wonderful family of dogs, the collies.

[@meeangie22]

Some humans can't even find something by deduction

[@nihongoshow7484]

that dog is more intelligent than most people I meet

[@tumbleweedking5668]

***** As long as your not one of the "different" that sounds like an excellent suggestion.

[@katt2002]

Vincent Matlock (I know a reply to 2 years old comment), the irony is I think I trust a dog (or any animal) more than human because human lie alot :(

[@Slaktrax]

You ain't just a-tootin' !

[@aphroditekerylidis7000]

What a magnificent dog! Was heartbroken to learn she passed away a year ago. RIP beautiful furry angel along with your dear human father.

She died? Bruh you cant do this to me

2:23 i love how Chaser was ready for some more work but became so happy when she saw that the human became happy with her. Can't stop watching that scene.

[@c25789]

Chaser be like, "who the fuck is Darwin?".

[@littleclubfannightcoregirl972]

Hahahha right right

[@jamiecampbell3186]

Shut up man there dogs he found it 😔

[@jamiecampbell3186]

Dan O. How dare you say that to chaser

[@mrsilverback9949]

He's giving the dog humor. Just because the dog found Darwin, it doesn't mean the dog didn't think "wtf is darwin?"

[@lemzkiechannel9885]

chaser: hmmm this weird looks not familiar I thinks its darwin haha

[@taranolan3507]

I love on the last one, the dog is waiting for the guy to give his approval and without a word he smiles and makes a happy face with no words spoken. The dog then feels acknowledged and rewareded. so cute

[@bentleyclark6145]

I met this man and his dog today. I played with the pup today when I was at Wofford college ❤️

[@xmojojoeox]

i just like seeing tyson this happy. he is the best

[@DogLovingMarsha]

This surprises none of us that have worked in rescue for years. Glad that others are learning just what intelligent beings dogs are. We know why we spend all our spare time and money saving dogs....They feel pain, fear, and loneliness just like we do. They give so much in return and they need and deserve our protection.

[@flychomperfly]

wow. when they were back in the studio sitting on the chairs, with the dog chilling out on the floor in front... she says the name 'chaser'... the dog picks his head right up and starts listening to their conversation. chaser is clearly trying to discern if they are talking to him directly or not --and when the camera zooms in on chaser's face, you can watch his eyes and see how intently he is listening to their words. you can almost see his brain working--that he's truly a thinking creature.

[@gailkapitza5582]

Wow!!!!!! One of the smartest dog I have ever seen. I simple amazed.

[@thomasfisher3393]

That was cool

[@electronicsNmore]

I have a highly intelligent Bichon. I talk to the dog all the time. The dog knows many different words. Smartest dog I ever had.

[@ashleymoreno9000]

i have a bichon too :)

[@jessiejames7492]

yes i heard theyre very intelligent too

[@violentwildling8924]

I read this as "highly intelligent Bitcoin"

[@onegative1891]

I had a Bichon too❤️ she even learned to do a couple tricks just by us doing hand signals. Very smart dogs.

[@Andyatl2002]

They are poodle crossbreds.

[@sedthh]

wow such vocabulary many sophisticated problems much smart very intellect wow

[@sealstealer5007]

Very wow

[@Joseph-mm4zu]

So meme much old

[@TheAwesomeOne1ooo]

The end just brought a huge smile to my face.

[@derpestarzt]

That dog is smart and Dr.Tyson is great! you rarely see adults showing such genuine warmth and curiosity towards an animal, very nice.

[@amyhuffer3303]

Didn't take the dog long to train that guy to shake his head around either! :)

[@jessiejames7492]

You can see Dr DeGrasse really adores Chaser. How adorable they both are

[@sarahfox4914]

My dog is a little like this, she knows her toys names but she doesn't have as many as Chaser. The dogs mind is truly amazing

[@MsBlackdeath13]

This makes me think of my own dog - who is 15 years old. Such a nice and loving dog. Even though he's old he still likes to cuddle up next to me and demands to be pet. Or he likes to play with our younger dog (who is 1 year old).

[@josephr.gainey2079]

Chaser's person and owner (Dr. John W. Pilley) died on Sunday, June 17, 2018. In April, he had been diagnosed with leukemia. Pilley would have turned ninety on July 1, 2018. Pilley's daughter said that shortly before her father died Chaser positioned herself facing his bed looking directly at him and barked loudly at him (she isn't a barker) and kept her eyes fixed on him until after Pilley died. At the memorial service on Friday, Sept. 28, 2018, I saw and spent time with Chaser. She is till very grief-stricken and misses her person greatly. Pilley was at work on a second book about Chaser and how to train your dog to be one. The family--especially Chaser--are adamant that the book will appear soon as a memorial to Dr. Pilley, Chaser, and their work together.

[@foxythefurryfox733]

Joseph R. Gainey Aw thats so sweet and sad wish chaser the best of luck with her next person but Philey will have a special place in her heart RIP PHILEY

[@mikshin9825]

I hope the family treats her well. RIP, Professor.

[@cristaovery7784]

That dog has more ability to focus than most of my classmates.

[@aphroditekerylidis7000]

What an incredible, magnificent and beautiful dog. Love Chaser❤️💕

[@synni3379]

I find it amazing that he moves with the dog at the end, dismissing the woman. That's a very dog-like thing, and is vital. That man is brilliant. That alone, besides his brilliant companion.

[@Aethuviel]

I have a Ca de Bou (Mallorcan bulldog) who knows a lot of words. If I for example say "Wikus (his name) - bring BALL. He'll go look for the ball, and if it's in another room, I'll say "no no, Wikus - BALL. In the COUCH." And so he goes in to the living room, finds the ball on the couch, and comes trotting back, looking very proud of himself. ^_^ He knows ball, rope, leash, sock, bento (a special treat toy), lila (means purple, for a purple toy), dalmatian (for a stuffed dalmatian he had), dinosaur (same there), stick, frisbee, chew bone, food, pizza, meat, treat, hungry (but I bet he thinks they all mean the same thing - I could make a test on that some day), friend, Alex (my fiancé), Frida (that's me), Mimas (mom's dog), Daphne (sister's dog), dog, baby dog (I say that instead of "puppy" to him), cat, go pee, go poop, visit friend, chair, bed, couch, and this is excluding all words that are commands. When I say something he doesn't yet know, he'll stare at me first and tilt his head around, then stare straight out into space, trying to process what I said. My mom's dog (Shetland sheepdog) knows the difference between go, go out (leave the room), and go to bed, which I think is pretty impressive. Border collies are super smart but all dogs are on a scale of intelligence, and molossers are pretty smart too. (Can't say that for the whippet I had though...)

[@alexanderbrooksify]

I love how he just plays with the dog on national television at the end, there.

[@aagilly]

it's the dog's unique desire to please humans that makes the difference

[@LoyaltyOfDogsDotCom]

What an amazing display of a dog's intellect, especially in finding the new, unknown toy by process of elimination. Sallie, the famous canine Civil War mascot of the 11th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, was said to be able to tell the difference between Confederates and Union soldiers. She also recognized the various drum rolls that gave the soldiers their commands. Smart dogs!

[@McKavian]

The dog is amazing and full props to her owner and trainer. The other thing I noted was that NDT was not so full of himself that he would not play with the dog at her level.

[@rosemimi973]

A dog of the same breed was doing the same trick with the toys on a German game show. Those dogs are so smart. I wish I would have one too.

[@kaduisaui4596]

They won't give my dog a driver's license even though he drives me home from the bar every night.

[@Thawtoy]

Peter Griffin is that you???

[@sakurasoh]

Chaser!! I bought your book and now reading. What an amazing dog you are

[@jackiekennedy5372]

i loved this segment. .. this professor is from our local area college WOFFORD COLLEGE IN SPSRTANBURG S, C. this is so amazing and just awesome how smart these animals are. .. so cool

[@DAV632]

I had a Rottie a few years back who could pick out toys like that. Amongst her toys were 7 rubber spiky balls of different COLORS and I could ask her to bring me the YELLOW spiky ball or the PINK spiky ball and she would. I think a LOT of dogs are THAT clever but we are, as a species, too self centered to realize it so we treat them like "dumb" dogs and they simply live down to their expectations.

[@PURPLE.REIGN.1999]

I had a shepherd mix that could pick out toys too, like her hedgehog, ball, bone, etc and she also knew people's names and where they usually came into our house. George would come in the side door, gramma would come in the back door. So if you said Where's George? she would look for him at the side door, Where's gramma? she would go to the back window etc, Where's Elizabeth (my daughter), she would go upstairs to her bedroom. She died a few years ago - lived to be 14. Miss my old girl.

[@DAV632]

***** No they aren't.

[@klaireharney6493]

I just lost my border collie Gabe this morning he got hit by a car I never got to say goodbye because my friend takes care of him its half and half custody of him I miss him dear amen Gabe R.I.P.

[@Itskahuny]

I know it’s been ten years but I’m so sorry you went through this and hope you were able to find healing and peace

[@PINGPONGROCKSBRAH]

Border Collies are awesome dogs. One night when ours was sleeping in my mom's room, she got up to get a drink of water and my mom grumbled at her because it woke her up. So now she waits until my mom gets up to go to the bathroom before she gets a drink of water. So smart.

[@psyche4867]

Neil DeGrasse Tyson is a well known genius yet such a mood

[@sarahmeek3354]

How could anybody dislike this? It has Neil Degrasse Tyson and a puppy!

[@teamCZR]

Dogs can truly learn anything if you take the time with them. My dog legitimately will use nodding & shaking his head to answer questions & communicate with me :)

[@friscokid66]

It must be such a privilege and wonderful experience to have a dog like that

[@KDOGG331]

She's so cute and looks like she's having so much fun too

[@virginiaconnor8350]

And I bet if you donated one to charity, Chaser would be very upset. My BC Tess knew which one was missing if I hid one. She used to wake me up and woof in my ear to tell me I had to go per. She also herded me to my meter to tell me my sugar was too high and to the kitchen if my sugar was too low. Before she died at 16, Tess taught her new BFF-my red/white BC-to take over my job. And she did after a doggy lecture when she was just a pup and helped me manage my Diabetes til she died at 14 last year.

[@onthespoke2]

I only know ten words, the ones in this sentence.

I highly doubt its the dogs fault =)

You could tell the woman's not a dog lover. She had her chance to pet Chaser and kept clear. Chaser, all the best to you, you wonderful animal.

[@dahhwits40]

It's sad how nowadays reality TV shows are more popular than these types of shows. Thank for you posting this video :)

Awww that is adorable!!! It is a good thing that you were one step ahead of her and kept her inside... the poor thing hahahaha.. I love border collies so much. I was on a train once and a couple with a border collie hopped on, I ushered it to come sit next to me and it strutted up to me, sat next to me on a chair and it wanted me to shake its paw!! It was the most cutest thing I have ever seen!

Border Collies...best dogs ever..!!

[@PeterHBne1]

You have to own one to understand how smart they are. Like highly intelligent. I've had two. And better they have such beautiful natures. But they are hard work - require stacks of exercise and constant mental stimulation to get the best out of them. Other dogs just don't compare in any way.

[@susiegoodman4425]

I have had various Border Collies over the years - they are the most intelligent dogs ever - one of my dogs lived until over 16years until the arthritis got to him & he could not walk anymore so he was put to sleep in my kitchen with me holding his paw - broke my heart so now I rescue ill treated Border Collies - my Kip was tied up for over 5years - he has a great gouge in his neck ...absolutely petrified of everything but now is the most gorgeous dog ever ...it did take over a year for me to get his confidence so if you do not have the patience please do not have a Border Collie !!!!!

[@user-mc8uk8hy5m]

16 years? Cool!

[@xivwords5448]

Poodles are just as smart

[@steamingleo]

I love these dogs and I enjoy reading each and everyones story. If you have a border collie, please tell me a story about them and what they did to show their intelligence. I would love to hear it!!

[@jannley3036]

Bonnie was my girl. I took her to obedience classes to give her something to do. She maintained eye contact with me nearly all the time. She picked up the idea on nearly every exercise quickly. In the end, Bonnie left us, we think, for a neighbor/farmer who had livestock, and real work. If you want a chill dog, do consider a Retriever. But if you have tons of love, patience, and work, a Border Collie might be a great choice. ❤🐶❤

[@JuniperJupiter]

I love Dr. Tyson. He's so mind-blowingly brilliant that he could murder you in a battle of wits and you won't even know it....and yet is so down-to-earth to get down on the floor and roll with a doggy! :)

Everytime a dog does something incredible, it's a border collie. No wonder they are admitted to be the most intelligent dog breed.

[@foggyfelines3680]

MarlonBrando Nah, she's purebred.

[@eightmate838]

My dog (Jack Russell Terrier) knows the name of (most) of her toys. She wouldn't be able to do deductive reasoning like Chaser tho, who is doggy Einstein. It is cool how my dog is able to distinguish a cartoon dog on the TV. Even if it's not making any sound and is the most far off from dog-looking, she can do human-esque translating and be able to identify the cartoon as a dog. Pretty cool. Other than that... she barks at lamps because she thinks they're strangers.

[@thingsonmyfoot1]

border collies are sooooooo smart! and i know, my dog is a border collie-black lab. (he learned to use his paws to hold things down while eatiing/playing) nothing cuter than a smart dog:3
