If you are really missing someone oftentimes you pick up the phone and give them a ring to check in on how things are. It feels good and can be reassuring to just hear their voice on the line. When one man’s dog, an Airedale Terrier named Stanley, was missing his mother, he had his human place a call to her.
When Stanley’s mom picks up he begins to talk to her as if he were just a regular caller. While we don’t yet have dog-human translation abilities, it really seems like he is telling her how he misses her. His dog tone and mannerisms suggest just as much. He leans towards her voice and responds to her questions. At one point Stanley even out-talks her, chattering away nonchalantly. Both his parents are thrilled with his eager responses and lively engage with him throughout the call.
According to Stanley’s owner, he has always been very verbal. He sings on cue when asked and will respond to questions. If he hears his owner make animal noises, such as a howl, he will try to imitate the sound and even the pitch. All the friends and neighbors who know Stanley find it easy to love him and this video shows why he is so cherished.
As a breed Airedale Terriers are clever, graceful and well tempered dogs. They commonly develop strong bonds with their masters and make excellent loyal companions. They are valued and known for being highly intelligent and strong willed. Perhaps now they will also be known for their vocal abilities!
