Dogs truly understand human speech! In Japan, a Labrador named Yokozuna was lounging lazily on the couch when his owner started saying "sanpo" (meaning "walk"). Before the owner even finished the word, Yokozuna sprang up with lightning speed, ready to go out. This reaction was so fast that it left netizens laughing, saying Yokozuna's response was quicker than a flash, leaving only a blur.
Dogs are generally very sensitive to sounds, such as the opening of cans or the jingling of keys. However, they often seem indifferent because they are simply too lazy to respond. A Japanese dog owner, @yokozuna_lab, shared an amusing experience. One morning, as they decided to take Yokozuna for a walk, they barely uttered the sound "san" before Yokozuna leaped off the couch, transforming from a lazy dog to an eager companion in an instant. The speed was so astonishing that even the camera couldn't capture it clearly, leaving only a blur.
The owner also shared a previous incident where they took Yokozuna out for a walk. When they temporarily let go of the leash to lock the door, they turned around to find the entire leash hanging from Yokozuna's head, patiently waiting for the owner to hurry up and take him out. This adorable scene melted the hearts of many netizens.
