I found this video on the Discovery Channel website and I laughed. It was added July 13, 2009

Researchers have completed a study that proves that dogs understand gestures (pointing) like two year old toddlers (not three year olds though - they proved that too).
I laughed because I often tell people that their dog is like a two year old (which of course always brings in "terrible two's" comments). I'm sure I'm not the only one who has said that and I can't even remember where I first heard it
Anyway, I thought it was pretty interesting so I figured I would share it with you.

I'd read that dogs have the understanding of a two year old in one of Dr.Fogle's health guides ( I think )or something similar. Your posting only goes to underline that it's true.Recognition of words is another part of the equation - our boyz know the word for lunch in at least a dozen languages!Fun insight as always.
Very cool...I always tell folks mine are like toddlers.
Yup, kids that never grow up to be teenagers, sorta/kinda/not really;)
They read our body language like we read books.
Cool...
I't nice post, friend...
