Anyone who thinks that dogs can't talk to us is now taught otherwise.
Because four-legged friend Kenny knows exactly how to tell his mistress what he wants.
England - Can dogs talk to us?
That sounds unbelievable at first, but little Bichon Kenny does exactly that with his owner.
The TikTok community is crazy about the talking dog, who now has almost 360,000 followers with his account "thetalkingdogofficial".
You can see the clever way he communicates in his videos.

While most dogs respond to their owners by following commands, Kenny found another way: He responds to his owner using a soundboard.
He can even form simple sentences by pressing different buttons with his paws.
In one of the videos, the owner asks the attentive four-legged friend: "So, Kenny, we have two options for you today.
We've got either a bone or a treat for you.
What do you want?” The dog then runs to Mum to examine the two offers and then back to his soundboard.
Another clever four-legged friend saves a baby's life when it suddenly stops breathing.
Pretty clever: Kenny answers his mistress' questions with the help of a soundboard.

Video shows: dog "talks" to mistress - Kenny knows exactly what he wants
It seems Kenny knows exactly what he wants.
The little bichon runs purposefully to his toy and presses three buttons.
His unequivocal answer sounds: "Kenny wants bones".
His mistress then rewards him with a lot of love and of course with his bone.
Previous videos also prove that this is no coincidence.
In one, Mum asks if the dog would like a treat or food.
He replies with "treats", but his mistress is not satisfied with that and asks him to form a complete sentence.
He then presses three buttons on the soundboard and the answer is heard: "Kenny wants treats." In order to get his brother's food, a dog tricks his owner with an ingenious move.
