A dog can understand 7 words.
There is a dog that understands about thousand different names for toy
puppets of all kinds. Ask for e.g. "Mary" and the dog will pick the
right puppet from a pile. Add a new puppet to the pile and ask for a
hitherto unknown name, and the dog will fetch the new puppet.
How many barks does a human understand?
Those who have a dog will understand several but I have no idea how
many.
That's Chaser, a Border Collie who's memorized the names of over
1000 stuffed toys, and can pick them out of a heap correctly.
