A Corgi eagerly responds to its owner's command of "three," quickly lowering its head to eat. However, it soon realizes something is amiss. Many dog owners train their pets to wait for a command before they can eat, using phrases like "sit" or counting to "one, two, three." This practice not only prevents food stealing but also fosters a daily interaction that builds mutual understanding.
In Guangdong, China, a dog owner typically teaches her Corgi and Border Collie to wait until they count to three before they can eat. One day, she deliberately called out "31" to test their reactions. In the video, both dogs obediently wait for the command to eat. The clever duo remains unfazed by other numbers until the owner throws in a trick: after saying "three," she immediately follows with "eleven." The Border Collie remains unaffected, while the Corgi, upon hearing "three," rushes to eat. A few seconds later, it realizes that "this three is not that three." The Corgi pauses in front of the food and then quietly looks up at its companion and owner for confirmation, displaying an incredibly expressive face.
Viewers noted how the Border Collie's gaze at the Corgi seemed to be watching a performance. Comments from netizens reflected their amusement: "The hesitation in those few seconds shows the Corgi's intelligence leap," "The Border Collie's certainty makes the Corgi doubt itself," and "Their thoughts are written all over their faces." Others remarked on the relatable feeling of discovering one's answers differ from the top student in class, noting that the Border Collie had predicted the owner's trick while the Corgi quickly recognized something was off and sought confirmation from its gifted companion. Both dogs are indeed very smart.
