This genius dog has learned how to 'SPEAK' using a sound board and can now ask to go walkies and even tell its owners 'I love you'. Copper, a oneyearold red fox Labrador, has learned to press buttons with prerecorded words to talk to her owner, Tia Herrell, 50. Now the intelligent pooch can press one of 40 buttons available to communicate her needs. She can ask to be let outside to do her business, and even knows, and communicates, where in the house Tia's daughter Savannah Herrell, 11, is located.

Speechlanguage pathologist Tia made Copper's first sound board herself out of wood, recordable buttons and heavyduty Velcro in February 2020. Motherofone Tia, from Stevenson Ranch, California, USA, said: "I think it's so amazing I can speak to my dog and she can speak back.
