This week i watched a video called "Meet a Dog who can read" with Lisa Howells which made me wonder how smart dogs will be in the future. Most dogs are thought of as stupid and lazy, but really if there trained the right way they can be smart maybe even as smart as you. This dog could read commands and then actually act them out showing just how smart dogs are. It also reminded me of a video that i watched of dogs talking through there bark.
Yes it may be funny but just think about if dogs were taught to actually talk, and walk and read. Also i think its interesting how certain breeds of dogs are smarter than other breeds, is behavior really important to intelligence? And is it the same for humans.
I think its very interesting that dogs can learn up to 165 words, aware of differences of to five and can calculate that, this is the same for a 2 to 2.5 year old.
In conclusion dogs are not as dumb as you may think they are.

Some dogs are smart. I mean we use some to help the blind and handicap. I read an article about this. It was very interesting. You did a good job. I like how many links you put in. You had a great voice in your blog. The part where you said that we can teach dogs to read, talk,and walk was funny. My dad used a psychic to communicate with his dog Sara. He didn't believe it would work. But he said in the end it was freaky because she was correct in where Sara's favorite place in their house was. The psychic hadn't even been to his house. We use dogs also for search and rescue. If they weren't smart i don't think we would use them.
