If he could speak words, he would!
Most of you have never met Charlie, but those that have, know how remarkable he is. I am talking about my great four-legged companion friend. He's my last good-bye when I leave my house, the source of joy every time I come home, keeps-me-company while I work (by my feet), and my protector when I am vulnerable (it's more like jealousy).
He understands our language, and if he could speak words, he would. I've never seen a dog that communicates everything that he wants, as Charlie does. He makes specific growls or barks for everything he wants. For instance, he'll let you know if he wants to go outside, if he wants food, or if he wants a treat! Ask "What is it Charlie?" and he'll show you. What's more exceptional is that as much as he knows how to communicate his needs, he also understands everything we communicate to him. He is almost human if it wasn't for his animal limitations.
He has always liked to sleep under the covers, and we would let him for many years. But after we had our son, we decided Charlie needed his own bed (and blanket of course). If that blanket gets a bit out of place, he will let you know! ... and he won't stop until you fix it for him. It's hilarious!
He also knows when we are talking about him, and will bring toys out for attention. In fact, if I was reading this out loud as I write it, he would know it was about him, I am not kidding!
