Ever felt like your dog can really understand you? Yeah, when they look at you with those cute soulful eyes it seems like they actually get you when you say you love them or scold them for eating something off the table. Well, it's true!

Actually, dogs have much in common with people. They can count in small numbers, they like watching TV, and they can even fall in love the same way people do!
