Canine comprehension

Dogs in Japan are understandably offay with the local language, happily responding to all the basics like sit, walkies and attack. Yet when it comes to reading they are generally at a complete loss.

Like myself, man’s best friend simply can’t get to grips with the memory minefield that is kanji. However perhaps rather surprisingly, written English appears to be no problem whatsoever.

    The reason that dog need an English sign is that it’s obviously not japanese. It’s far too big and it’s not wearing clothes.
