MEET BONO!
OK, Probably not the Bono you were thinking of!
Bono is a Belgian Malinois. He has a job. He is a police dog.
He boards with me when his owner goes on vacation.
He never listens to me. Well, that's not really true. When I tell him to sit or down, he looks at me like I'm talking a foreign language.
So I went up the one of the receptionists and told her that I thought I was speaking the wrong language because he had this way of watching me like he was thinking "What are you saying?!"
So she looked up some German words for me.
So there was "Setz"! for SIT and "Platz"! for DOWN
So I went back and tried them and they worked!
I have to admit that at first Bono was a bit intimidating, knowing what he can be capable of doing when he's at work.
But now we are buddies.
We were out in the play area and suddenly there was the sound of a siren, an ambulance or fire truck or possible a police car.
I wonder if he thought his owner were in that police car that went by?
Strange that he listens to german! Could be so that no criminal can tell him to stop or something like that or perhaps he is born in Germany? We use the same words in swedish, sitt and plats :-) and if we ant them to walk perfectly by our side we say fot.
Not that my dogs understand the last one :-) I have to say that they must walk properly :-) :-) :-)
Have a great day now!
Christer.
