Dog Speaks Japanese
Here’s a dog that seems to be capable of saying the Japanese word for “mother” (okaa-san):
Since the dog only ever says it when she’s touched by somebody other than her mommy, her owners think that she’s calling out for help from mom. ATV consulted some dog behavior experts and were told that this was true – sort of.
The dog thinks of her human family as a pack, with the mother as the leader and the dog as the second-ranking pack member. When lower-ranking pack members touch her, she gets angry and growls. The fact that her growl sounds remarkably like “okaa-san” is apparently just a coincidence.
