We all like to think our dogs are gifted and talented, but only a few special pooches worldwide truly are. A new study has revealed the one personality trait that is common amongst "gifted" pups - and it's very easy for owners to spot.
According to the research carried out by Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, dogs that can remember and recognise the names of different objects are more likely to be playful and thus talented. So if your dog can identify their favourite toy when you call it out, it's possible they are in the smart minority.
