i didnt want to mess up the other thread.

HANK is by far the smartest dog i have ever had the pleasure to hang with.

notable tricks. he knows, "go get the rope". he can be playing with whatever, and if i ask for the rope he will drop anything and go and sprint to find his tug-o-war rope. with friends, i can ask HAnk and he will run into the dog-door and come back with the rope. its sick.

he will touch my hand if i say "hand". (with his nose)

doorbell: he goes nuts. with wife, he stays nuts. ME? i say, "go lay down". he will sprint to his dog bed and lay there. i can throw open the door and he will stay put. i look at him and he is trembling with that "put me in Coach!" look. but he will not move until release him.

i have a video of him chewing his rawhide. i can ask. "can i have some?". he will bring it do me. i mock chew it a bit, and he sits patiently until i give it back to him.

cool pup. i love him.
