The dogs tried their best, and while their handlers spoke many different languages, the dogs spoke one international language: WOOF.

I know you have a lot of other dogs coming to you seeking help in understanding why people behave the way they do and what they can do to correct human behavior problems. Although we’ve been living together for ten years, for the life of me, most of the time I can’t figure out what makes my human tick.
