Dobermans can understand up to 200 words and commands—they’re among the smartest dog breeds in the world. But their intelligence isn’t just about tricks; it’s emotional, too. They read faces, tones, even moods.
Nyx can sense when I’ve had a long day. She doesn’t need words; she just sits close, head on my knee, waiting. That quiet connection says more than any language could.
It’s moments like those that remind me—she’s not just learning from me, I’m learning from her too.
