Class act: card from Dogstuff
Pretty smart, according to the latest research.
Most dogs can learn and understand from 165 to 250 words and gestures, about the same as a 2- to 2.5-year-old. Their math skills are better than most 3- to 4-year-olds, and their social interactions are as complex as most teenagers’.

This is an interesting post. As a dog trainer, I have practical experience of the facts stated in the post. I believe that dogs especially the Labradors (I love them most)are very friendly with human beings and one can trust on the intelligence and nature of these dogs when they are leaving their little ones to play with these pets.
