This canine is doggone smart.
Eighteen-month-old Stella already knows 29 words — and she is even stringing them into sentences.
Speech-language pathologist Christina Hunger decided to combine her love for her Catahoula and Blue Heeler mix and her passion for augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices by finding a way to give her dog a voice, People first reported.
To do this, the 26-year-old San Diegan set up a button board when Stella was 8 weeks old for the pooch to interact with and express herself. When pressed, the buttons play recordings of words like “beach,” “ball” and “happy.”

Wow, 29 words...that's more than most Slumsbury residents these days.
There's a board for cats, too. There are three buttons: You may touch me until I tire of you; where is my food, and; I have no further need of you, you may go.
Wow! Check out her instagram. It’s amazing to see the dog communicating with her.
