To our dogs, we speak frequently. It’s only natural to treat them like humans, given that they each have their own distinct personalities.

They do, however, appear to grasp what we’re saying. If you think ‘good boy’ or ‘good girl’ and ‘treats’ and ‘walk’ are familiar to them, consider how often you use them.

A user on Reddit ended up starting a trend after posting a video of their dog’s reaction to the phrase ‘good boy.’

These photographs rapidly went viral online, and many other pet owners were inspired to share before-and-after

shots of their own dogs’ responses. The outcomes were obviously priceless, as dogs are experts at being cute.
