Is Your Dog Smart?
I have no own dog, but I walk a dog, a Shiba, twice a day.
I feel 'my' dog is quite intelligent, even if I would not know how to measure its intelligence. But most important is that I consider him as a real friend who is alwys impatiently waiting for me every day.
Shiba is beautiful!! If he's a good friend, then he's smart. He recognizes you as a friend :)
Your answer shows you are also smart... and so nice, hehe
