DRAWING MY LIFE:LOST IN DOG TRANSLATION


Our maid was telling our Labrador,Angel, to fetch her slippers but was doing it in the vernacular (Tagalog.) The dog just stared at her and didn't move an inch despite her pleadings. It made me wonder if foreign-bred dogs go through a process of translating before they go into action. So if you have a Shih Tsu, better talk to it in Chinese...or speak French to a French Poodle?
