A pet psychic has revealed that dogs don't like being called negative nicknames, and even feel offended when you're mean or joke about them. So, if you have a habit of calling your pooch 'Stinky' or 'Crusty', maybe it's time you stopped.
Danielle MacKinnon has gone viral on TikTok for her detailed explanation about pet names, racking up more than one million views. Danielle told the Mirror: "Dogs recognise their proper names as well as the names we call them when we think they aren't listening. They are also well aware when their nickname is something negative like, Mr Grumpy."
