While dogs can't understand our language, they can interpret the tone of our voice. Many owners use deeper voices when disciplining their pets, and high-pitched tones when making a fuss over them. But one woman has been forced to change her accent altogether when speaking to her cousin's dog because it simply doesn't understand her otherwise.
Stephanie Jimenez, from the Philippines, was staying with her cousin in Australia when she decided to help out with some of the daily chores. She took their maltipoo cross out for a walk - but quickly realised the language barrier between them. In a TikTok video, Stephanie is heard telling the dog, named Chanel, to move on during their walk in her natural accent.
