A woman who thought her foster dog was disobedient - discovered it was because the pooch only understands Spanish. Ariana Giampietro, 26, had been looking after pup Monty for a week and couldn't understand why he ignored her commands.
The mixed-breed American Pitbull terrier was well-behaved, but it wouldn't 'sit' when she asked him to. When she asked the shelter she fostered him from she discovered he had previously lived on a farm with a Spanish family - and it turned out he only understood Spanish words.
Ariana looked up the Spanish word for 'down' and 'let's go' and when she said them aloud, Monty immediately knew what to do. Shocked, Ariana discovered he knows lots of commands in Spanish - and was only 'ignoring her' because he had no idea what she was asking him to do.
