"He's smart. My dog lets me know that he needs to go out by s******g on the floor." I laughed so hard my colleagues turned around to look at me xD

You choose to interpret a lot of things we don't know, like the age of the dog. The owner speaks of him with great affection and I don't see any problems with not using his dog's name. After all, it can get confusing for strangers who don't know the dog. He's just keeping things simple, maybe. Or the dog's name is dog (my son's cat is named Miss Cat!). It's just a funny story.

Total adorbs, this big doggo! What a sweetheart!

It could be his way to say he misses his old home... Goldies are such sensitive and loving dogs...

I volunteer at AGAPE Thrift Store in our town where we earn money for the needy. At Christmas I bought some Bells that hang on the door k**b, and taught our Jack Russell Terrier puppy to reach up and ring the bells to go out, and ring some on the outside to come in. Now my hearing-impaired husband can even hear when she wants out & in. It's easier to train the dog than the husband.

'Put some peanut butter on the front door' XD I DIED🤣

The dog is very intelligent, he has taught the humans to come and look for him and let him out, no matter door he's licking!

I find this to be way too funny for some reason, ow man I am dying xD

Loved the doggie!

My kind of dog.

I'm still laughing! Cutiss Maximus of dogs!!

My dog stares at me, shakes his butt and then runs to back door and stares at it. If you don't get up, he'll come back and do it all over again.

My dog would walk to me, then walk to the door when he wanted out. I even trained him to only go in one area of the yard.

I have 2 doggy doors installed.These are excellent.

SMART DOG NOT DUMB. HE WAS TRAINED TO GO OUT THIS WAY. NOW HE NEEDS TO BE RETRAINED. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO TRAIN A DOG. BUT THIS GUY WILL DO JUST FINE. HE IS JUST CONFUSED.

Smarter than my last little pinhead. She never learned to alert me when she had to go! In fact, one night I got up to go to the bathroom, when I came back she had peed all over the exact middle of the bed!! Arrg! I ended up sleeping in the recliner that night!

Mine walks to the front door, then comes back and looks at me expectantly.. for peeing, and pooping. If for some reason it happens in the middle of the night, he will not wake us up, but go in the master bathroom, on the floor!

U talked tooooooooooooooo much...

This is an older dog, and unlearning everything he/she did for years is difficult. Even older humans become confused with age. The owner, being the pack leader, hasn't gone back and patiently helped his follower relearn things. And worse, the owner never once mentioned the old guy's name, which tells me that he is not a loving dog owner. As everyone here knows, I always talk about Charlie, and never call him "my dog", or "my shih-tzu".
