According to research, dogs are the only species that can truly understand human speech. However, if you want to train your new puppy, you need to speak to it in a specific way to increase the likelihood that it will pay attention to you.

Despite the fact that dogs can understand what we say, it doesn’t mean that they can respond as they can’t talk. They can only react, and their reaction tells us what we need to know.

But then, there’s this Redditor who thought their dog could talk but chose not to speak to him. Don’t blame him yet until you hear the full story, which he actually shared with the r/TIFU subreddit community.

The OP’s family had the cutest English Cocker Spaniel since before he was born, so the OP grew up with the dog and they were best of friends. When he was six years old, he saw his dad talking to the dog and wanted to make fun of him because he was talking to an animal.

But then his dad gave him a response that ultimately ruined the relationship between the OP and the dog. Find out how the whole story unfolded as you keep scrolling down.

But first, grab yourself something to munch on because it’s pretty lengthy, but you’ll enjoy every bit of it.

It all started around fifteen years ago

She was very shy and didn't dare talk to many people

I was pretty sad at the time

We tend to get a bit nostalgic when all of us are together

I had actively thought about it

Here are what redditors had to say:

1. Really!

2. Something broke me out of it

3. Op guesses his dad was just being silly

4. My tendency to over empathize with animals and children

5. The end question sums it all up

6. Fathers are the doors of the real world

7. What this redditor is sad about

8. A heartwarming but rather sad story

9. It would have been easier if I wasn't blinded by love

10. The elephants in Africa jumping up and down caused the beach waves

11. Did you know that Sherlock was a coke addict?

12. All dogs were boys and cats are girls

13. The things you realize when you finally become an adult

14. Thinking that it would be activated sooner

15. I never had a reason to reassess the belief

16. The feeling of betrayal must have been real

17. It's the laughing emojis for me

18. He had already moved on from giving it a thought

19. It is a passive piece of truth

20. And summing it up, we have...

Every dog owner understands that their dog is unique and special. The majority of dog owners believe their dog can understand everything they say and do.

But the OP thought their dog could talk, and we can’t blame him for that. After all, we can’t deny that some parts of us just wish that our furry buddies could talk to us too.
