Many pet owners love talking with their animal companions as if they were fellow humans. Practically everyone is guilty of chatting with their pets at some point over the course of their relationship, whether in a regular tone or as baby talk, it just happens.
It’s a natural, normal and possibly even instinctual way to communicate and bond with them. Sometimes our pets will even initiate conversations or talk back to us. A recent survey found that 67% of pet owners claim they understand their animals barks, meows, purrs and all of the other random sounds they make.
Of those surveyed, 62% reported that when they speak their animals seem to understand them and get the message. Those numbers are from a 2008 AP-Petside poll and have likely increased since then, as pets are increasingly being considered important family members.
Some people even place their beloved pets on equal footing with children, hence the name fur-babies! Which leads us to this adorable, and perhaps familiar, video of a family trying to figure out what to eat for dinner. The camera is focused on two beautiful husky dogs who are just chilling on a covered futon which appears to be their spot.
A little boy swiftly pads by the pair and from off camera his mother can be heard telling him “daddy’s going to cook potatoes,” to which the kid replies “I don’t want potatoes!” They talk about this for a second before the dad then asks one of the dogs, “Mishka, do you want potatoes?”
Mishka, the black and white husky, looks straight at the camera with her gorgeous, piercing eyes and answers him! She murmurs or whines and makes some dog noises that sound exactly like she’s saying “I want potatoes.”
Her answer is so cute and her timing is perfect, I just hope she got to enjoy some of the potatoes later on!
