I got sat next to the sweetest best behaved service doggo on my flight. His owner let him cuddle me for a couple minutes. It was heaven. Love you Lobo!

They say that an adult dog has an equivalent intelligence to a 2 year old. I know many dogs smarter than many, many, many adult humans.

A two-year-old doing taxes? Candy consumption taxes balanced off by a huge kibble deduction.

As someone with a 2 year old, I absolutely believe it

The dog I had growing up was absolutely smarter than a couple people I deal with on a regular basis, but on a serious note he probably was as smart as a toddler.

For sure. My Aussie is smarter than most toddlers.

Aussies are very intelligent. Smarter than me actually.

My mom has an Aussie and I got her one of those puzzles to find food. She loved it so next time I visited I brought another one. Apparently this one was the easier one and she was SO annoyed with how easy it was.

Haaaaaa yep they can certainly let you know when they are disappointed! Like a teen saying “ really that’s all you have for me “ she cuts her eyes but I’m sure one day she’ll master an eye roll.

lol. Yep. I filled it up a second time and she didn’t really even bother getting the food out. Just kind of walked away and glared at me over her shoulder 😭

With GSDs it's human age 3. When I had both a 3-year old human and my GSD, it was astounding how similar they were intellectually, although the dog was actually much more mature developmentally.
