COME and GO are the two words that any dog can understand without any hassle. I thought my pet Hansie too had learnt them in a few days. But I was wrong. He stopped responding to it after a few weeks, especially for COME - he would come only when he felt like coming. And that would annoy me very much the same way I get annoyed when the “ Hey, Siri ” fails to understand the word I say. WATER was one of the words I taught him with a bit of difficulty. He couldn’t express his thirstiness. He would come running when I went towards the water bowl. I didn’t notice it for a long and I realised it only when I accidentally filled the bowl, and he drank a stomach full of water. That was a heartbreaking moment. Now if I ask WATER and he needs it, he will just walk towards the bowl and I will follow him. It is so natural that I pay less attention to other things when I use the mobile or watch TV. I mean, not like I wouldn’t feel the earthquake or even the doorbell, just a little less focus. This
