0:07 In this lesson you will learn how dog owners talk about their dogs.
0:16 Hi there, Jannet. Let’s take our dogs to the dog park today.
0:20 Alright! That’ll be fun! Laika would love that!
0:23 My Bunny is sometimes afraid of the big dogs over there.
0:27 Yeah, some dogs are really aggressive. You can never be sure about them.
0:31 Last time I took him to the park, he was bitten by a pit bull.
0:35 Gosh...You should always stay close to your dog in the park.
0:38 I was but I also had to keep an eye on Joe!
0:42 Yeah! Always remember that the dog park’s not a child’s playground!
0:52 Gina, do you buy dog food?
0:55 Nope. My labrador is already used to eating beef.
0:58 Really?! Wow! My yellow lab eats waste! Can you believe it?
1:02 Oh! That’s a common problem, try some meat tenderizer on your dog’s food. It gives a metallic taste to dog waste. It’ll help.
1:11 That’s an idea! I’ll buy it today at the grocery store.
1:15 I have one problem with my Bo. He won’t stop barking when he hears even the slightest sound.
1:22 Okay, let me give you some advice. Keep a leash on him. If he barks, pull the leash and firmly order him to be quiet.
1:30 Alright! I doubt it will work, but I’ll try.
1:39 Hmmm...your K-9 is looking so moody today!
1:43 Rocky’s been behaving this way since we were put on the detection squad. I don’t know what’s the matter with him.
1:48 Why don’t you get a Beagle like I have? Shepherds are better used as attack dogs.
1:54 He has become more like a close friend to me. He probably won’t like a new master.
1:58 Do you ever get the airport duty?
2:01 Not usually. I’m sure if Rocky gets an airport shift, he’ll muddle up everything!
2:07 Yeah, it seems passengers don’t mind a Beagle as much. In fact some of them enjoy it when Ted sniffs their stuff.
2:15 That’s great. My Rocky is so aggressive!
2:23 Have you heard of Hachiko?
2:26 The Akita? Yeah sure, he’s the dream-dog of every dog owner! He waited 9 years for his master!
2:33 I doubt anybody can be loyal to somebody to such an extent.There are less than 100 pure Japanese Akitas now.
2:41 What about Chips, the Second World War hero?
2:45 Nope, I was thinking of the space dog Laika actually. What about Chips?
2:51 He was a German Shepherd K-9 during the war. He attacked an enemy machine gun nest on his own, and made them surrender,
2:58 but sacrificed his own life.
3:01 Some dogs prove themselves to be better than we are! Anyway, how’s your special dog, Rocky?
3:08 He’s a real friend! He even takes care of my keys and my wallet!
3:15 Let’s take our dogs to the dog park today.
3:21 Yeah, some dogs are really aggressive.
3:28 You should always stay close to your dog in the park.
3:35 Gina, do you buy dog food?
3:42 My labrador is already used to eating beef.
3:51 He won’t stop barking when he hears even the slightest sound.
4:04 Why don’t you get a Beagle like I have?
4:12 He probably won’t like a new master.
4:19 I doubt anybody can be loyal to somebody to such an extent.
4:31 Some dogs prove themselves to be better than we are!
