the way he tilts his head to listen is freaking adorable!!
😊 @Ruth Esther
It really is.
My Shepherd does the same thing when I say Ice Cream. Talk about something they love like Ball and watch them tilt their head. I think I'm part Shepherd seeing I've lived with them for so many years.😂
Every German Shepherd I've owned Big or small all tilt their head if you say the magic words. GO FOR A RIDE? watch the reaction, Go outside, watch the reaction, wanna play ball 3 times watch the reaction. The smaller ones are actually meaner. Had 2 female's 1 king Shepherd 120 lbs and a 70 lb K-9 German Shepherd who do you think got the worse? Me because I had to pay to get them sewed up. The little one was the baddest. I was told you can't keep 2 Alpha female's. Teach them the word Muzzle, soon as 1 gets cocky, do you want your muzzle on? After wearing it for 2 days they learn. The last 6 years of life no more fights. Soon as they started I could call the small one off the big one I had to grab. Yes I did get bit several times but both were my babies I didn't want hurt 🤕+$$$$ vet bill.
@@alrenshaw4786 I am a dog lover. I have had a German Shepherd Dog and probably won't get any other breed in the future. Being a dog trainer professionally, I believe in prevention and temperament testing. If I already have one dog, that's enough for me. We're I to get a second dog, it would be upon my first dog's approval only. If my first dog didn't like the dog I was considering, my dog has the final say. That's the way it should be. I love my dog and respect his wishes in these matters.
Looks like he turns his head every time the owner says a word he understands. Then he puts the words together and gets what`s going on. Smart dog.
Ice cream 🍦😂
@@LCx829 LOL, or in my case, “Starbucks” or “Pioneer Market for a cookie?” And chaos erupts! 🤣
@@darqueyes I've been living with Dogs so long I fell out of bed trying to lick my balls. 🤣🤣🤣 Atleast I stopped chasing Cars. I still have an urge to kill squirrels but I'll feed the Den of Fox's behind my House. I hate having to get dewormed.🤣🤣🤣 Good laugh 🤣!
My Belgian Shepherd does the exact same.
@@LCx829 bing chilling 🍦🥶
One of the best The Dodo episodes I have ever watched! Buddy was so intelligent and perceptive, its sad he lost his battle against cancer. Run free in dog heaven❤❤
No way. My goodness I feel bad for both. Their last few months together must have been painful. That's sad. I hope Buddy's caretaker is in a better place now.
@@GlassOnion23 wait what?? His caretaker died??😢
did you really have to drop a bomb like that in the comments my guy T_T
People like you who drop bad news under happy stories makes me sick to my stomach 🤮 imagine your family wow I feel bad for them always their good moments get crashed by you
Oh no! I shouldn't have watched this on New Year's Day. What a heartbreaking way to start the year. I hope his dad is coping 😢
I would talk to him all day long just to watch him move his head around like that. So cool
Because no dogs move their head around. Lmao. Get a life loser.
"The more you love your dog, the more he will respond to you". Absolutely, without a doubt.
Absolutely agree.
I have mix breed dog: tiger boxer + rottweiler. People assume it is an aggressy breed, dangerous. No, its not. If you rase your dog with love and discipline, thats what you gonna get. And my boy sometimes think he's still a puppy, (5 y old dog weighs 60kg, pure muscles) and wants to be on my lap. And talks a lot. Not just bark, lots of different noises - like he understands a world around him.
So, with love you get more!!!
@@urrikolm1251 yes! Very true!
Agreed! I have 7 months old Beagle girl, i trained her with love and firmness. Lot people said Beagle is so naughty, loud and won't listen to you except you have treats - but mine understand not only my words, but also my emotions. When i'm serious she obeys me immediately in silence and when i talk playfully she replies me with a funny whine. She understands so many commands on her puppy age. Its so funny when i walked her, then its started raining in a sudden i only said "hey its rain, lets run to home!" Then she will begin to run and entering my terrace in a split second (with me following her because she's faster than me 😅), she let me know when she wants to pee and i forget to put her potty pad, she also will bring her bowl if its empty and she's thirsty. Sometimes i thought she's a human in a shape of dog 🥲
@@VaniaAjah so sweet 💙
YEP. Same with the Westies I have and had. The previous could follow a drama in the television, even the suttle passive agressive Ironies could he take in and respond to with a Wuuf.
So good listener, when there is reward in the air. They were so good at understanding words, that I just end up talking to them as a normal person. They pick sooo much up.
Not just a pet dog but a soulmate.
I think you just said it all.
I always made sure my animals felt included in my day to day life. So important.

I agree!
I remember this kind of dog until he too old but still remember me !
Far away from my road to my grand mom home in small village in VN
! He stil come out and welcome me !
He s too old till he died but I always remember him! I love him forever!!
He a real my close brother not a dog!!!
Ew
All dogs are intelligent but this is more than next level. That dog is smarter than some people I know 😂.
Thanks for showing him to us, I smiled for the entire video.
Hope your mum is okay 👍
Pets for the most part are reflections of their owners. This man has a beautiful soul I can tell
He's wonderful. And the head twisting is just too precious.
“do you want an ce cream “. Yes I do he replied
My dog also used to do that.
I had a dog like this ... lost her in 2017. It broke my heart so bad it took me 3+ years to get another dog.
Needless to say but just like children, all dogs have different personalities no matter what the movies say.
My new doggo is nothing like my old dog but I love him anyways.
He's still a good boy!
I love my dog like this .
German Shepherds are fantastic dogs. But I think that the owner's dedication to the animal is the most important factor. Of course there is variation between owners and dogs but love and kindness towards an animal is never wasted. This guy and dog are a perfect example.

Absolutely with this breed....our family has had several.
@Gerrit Peacock So true, you can see the “Dad” spends tons of time engaging Buddy, training him, keeping him physically and mentally active and motivated. All that positive-feedback/reward training is what makes a dog so responsive to voice and inflection, especially highly work-motivated dogs like shepherds, pointers and retrievers. Buddy may not actually “read his mind” or understand conversation, but he knows his dad is the source of treats, play, games and affection, so he is tuned in to his dad’s voice, eager for all that positive attention and mental stimulation. Wonderful to see someone make use of all of a breed’s particular skills… (Before anyone calls me out on speaking about breeds, I am a “don’t breed or buy” person who has long adopted special needs, mixed-breed dogs. I just appreciate it when people do right by their particular pet’s energy levels and temperament.)
I am so impressed with how that dog LISTENS and obeys his loving owner. Training him to not cross the street was such a good idea. And DQ is ALWAYS a good idea too!
Incredible - he's so obedient! He dropped every ball except the one he was told not to drop! That's amazing obedience right there!
Is it weird that I see Bambi in the Shepherd's paws?
There's something about this dog's face, the way he looks, the story his eyes tell, fascinating.
God works in mysterious ways
@@jesusmarywillsaveyou That's the last thing i want to hear people reply to me.
Get your ignorant beliefs out of this.
I think there is a Red dog in him.
The side to side head movement means he is trying to understand. He is adorable.
They do it because of a blind spot there snout creates, I always wondered
@@You0nlyLiveonce nope, Usually tilting the head is a sign that the dog is trying to understand you.
@@leftwinger764 right, because of the blind spot
@@You0nlyLiveonce nice try. for lip reading it could be
@@leftwinger764 how exactly could a dog read lips? They don’t speak our language, nor can they interpret it from lip movement. They don’t even understand words. They remember tones and sounds and learn to associate them with behaviors or things through conditioning. The head tilting is just trying to get a better look for cues.
Aw, bless him. My dog Disney was the same way. For ten years we were like an extension of each other. We were only apart maybe an hour or two a week at most and were otherwise always an arm's length away. His unexpected death last September from a 'growth on his kidney' took the wind right out of my life's sails. Losing a dog like this is like losing a best friend, a brother and a son all in one. It is the burden we must endure by becoming pet parents, but the pure love we get to see in the meantime makes it worth the hurt. Much love to Buddy and every other dog, cat and other animal out there making the world a better place simply by being in it.
😭
Sorry for your loss, i know how that hurts.
@ Thank you, I appreciate that. And sorry for your as well.
So sorry for the loss of your boy Disney; dogs are the best friends/family we can have, and the unconditional love is amazing.
beautifully said, rip disney x
I appreciate that he accepted this dog as his family. Just like his own son. Not just a novelty pet.
This actually made me cry. That "what a good boy my dog is" in that gruff loving voice turned on the tears.
me too.
Me too….I lost my boy in August and that’s what I told my dog almost all of our last night together (the vet came here to put him to sleep). I just told him as much as I could how much I loved him and what a good boy he is. 😢💕💕💕😢
Me too. RIP my golden doggo:(
Look ♫ Look ♫ Look ♫ ✨🏅😊
May the ducks heal you 🦆💕✨

me too!
It took him three and a half years to get over losing his last German shepherd. I can relate to that. I do hope Buddy has a long and fruitful life. He deserves it.
I had one of these wonderful guys. I think of him every day. It's beautiful to see the love between you two
Thats why i never take pics of my dogs
Lost 3 dog already in lifetime, i have heavy seperation disorder issue
@@jeankristein3238 It is not a disorder Jean. It is perfectly natural, both for the owner and the dog. Remember the true story of Greyfriars Bobby.
I can relate too. For someone who has a real affinity for dogs, German Shepherds are among the most rewarding breeds to own. The bonds that can run between master and pet with GS’s are very deep. They don’t judge you. They don’t yell at you. They just love you and live to protect you.
@@davidw.robertson448
I mean like I am stressing out all the time if not see or hear my dog for a couple hours or minutes sometimes
But my dog really like to have her privacy, feel like having teen sibling lol
It will be 2 years in June that my 14 year old Poodle passed. I can’t believe how much I’ve hurt from the loss! I love this dog and this story!
My little girl Sally died in 2018 after having had a great life of 15 years, and her son my little boy dog, Bear, died in 2022 after 15 years. It never gets easy, but I just try and remember our words and trips. God bless you. Now I have Daisy, and she is three. They'll Yorkies. They all are my Babies
Couldn’t agree more, I was never a dog person, but my partner just had to have one. Well I ended up raising him from 6 weeks old, I worked from home and talked to him as if he was a person since days one.
Now we are both blown away by how much he understands, he is the best companion anyone could ask for.
He is such a loving and compassionate being.
You’d swear he was trained as an emotional support animal. But he just an amazingly good boy.
Outside of my partner, I can honestly say I love him more than anything in this world.
German shepherds are called to be one of the smartest kind of dogs for a reason.
Well labradors are the smartest but this dog is definitely smarter than a labrador.
Only beaten by border collies or how one spell it 😅
@@st1g718 Right on...Border Collie No.1.. GS No.2 ! :)
GSDs are crazy smart. They'll learn words & phrases you weren't even trying to teach them, if they're associated with things they find interesting.
@@unknownuser4083No they aren't. It goes 1. Border Collie 2. Poodle 3. German Shepherd
The second he heard Dairy Queen he smacked his lips. He totally understands.What an awesome doggo.
I noticed that as well!!!
Every time. Hes warming his tongue up 😆
OMG a dog that understood a phrase!!!! AMAZING!!! Yep I definitely stand by my comment that most of you here are stupid.
A dog understands things like sit, walk, park, food. Why is Dairy Queen spectacular to you? He clearly takes his dog there a lot (which he shouldn’t and shows he doesn’t even understand dogs, you don’t feed your dog dairy ffs.)
Dogs aren’t humans so stop feeding them man made foods.
Clearly many of you just shouldn’t own any pets. You get them for the wrong reasons.
Sad really sad at the lack of knowledge.
@@Lion-O-Richie2040 You're a complete cretin.
@@Lion-O-Richie2040 You seem real unhappy with your life, what’s the need to be such a buzzkill? Let people enjoy what makes them happy so long as they’re not hurting anyone. This comment doesn’t make you look as knowledgeable as you may think.
People need to understand that the love between a human being and his or her pet is so pure and real... I almost cried watching how much love and respect this dog has for his own and vice versa
you say "pet" but what you SHOULD be saying is REASONABLE pets ;) not monkeys or snakes or yknow anything that doesnt belong in a home.
@@pmbbmp what 😂
People need to understand not to humanize their dog.
People NEED to understand! The love of animals is real. Why should it be any different than human love because it isn't!! There are wonderful intimacies all around the world being denied because of taboos based on an inability to UNDERSTAND that there is nothing impure about that love.
My heart can’t take this much beauty! What a treasured GSD he is 😍🥹
ugh, my heart when he tilts his head. They're basically "aiming" their ears at you to make sure they hear you clearly. They know you're communicating with them, and they're just SO intent on what you have to say to them. God I love dogs.
@@akshay9602 what is wrong with you?
Grotesque.
@@oorrrii probably from Timor Leste 🤷🏾♂️
I'm not religious and yet I wonder sometimes if dogs are a kind of angel sent to us to guide us through life. Their love is so entirely pure and unconditional...
Yossss. They are the best
Every human must have a pet to understand their unconditional silent love.
My cats love is everything but silent ^^ But i know what you wanted to say
Not every human. Only those who can love them back
“Every single thing was about love and over animation to his success. It all comes with love. The more you love your dog the more your dog’s going to respond to you.”
Yep this bloke totally gets it.
He really did seem concerned about his mom. What an incredible dog!
I love seeing him turn his head as he is trying to figure out what he's hearing. He's so smart!
his eyes, totally different to normal dogs its so obvious that he understands more, it scared me at first. He really tries to understand incredible.
@@kentucky169 I've owned 9 German Shepherd's. They know most anything you say talking to them. People thought I was crazy talking to a Dog 🤔. Surprised when I tell the Dog to get something for me 😂. I'm working on her getting my shoes so we can go out and play ball 🏀. She actually walked and smelled my shoes looked at me and said 🖕that I got in trouble last time I touched them 🤣🤣. Still work in progress. I try and teach her 1 trick every couple of days. Repetition, praise and petting them right on the head while you praise. Just learned that from a K-9. 3 times Dog goes from 30 seconds to instant response in 3 times working with him.
@@alrenshaw4786 i had a border kolie german shepherd mix. This dog just fooled you all day long, he just ran into the woods and hid behind tries. We where calling him and thought he ran away but then after 10 Minutes you just saw him peeking around trees and stones until one just moved around him a got him by surprise from behind. :D
@@kentucky169 Smart Dog, I think all Dogs are smart it just depends how much you work with them? Border Collie is a very smart Dog+ a herd Dog he protects the sheep and in German Shepherd you have quite the Dog. Every Dog has it's own personality. I know a Lady who bought a Australian shepherd he's around 8 months he's just like the Dog you had quite the jokester Always happy.
Dog is making an effort to understand human words. Pretty sweet.
German Shepherds are so smart, love how he tilts his head trying to figure out what his dad is saying. They really are beautiful dogs. 💕💕💕
So true
Beautiful son and clever Merry Xmas happy new year😘😘😇😇🎄🎄🎄🤩🤩🙄🎄🎄🎄
They tilt their heads in order to hear better. Tilting their heads frees up the ear canals
@@kantholz3400 no the dog did not the human
What a beautiful video. I'm sitting here crying my eyes out because I just read that this wonderful boy passed away. What hurts the most is my beautiful boy is just like Buddy. My Copper dog has been my soul mate for the last 9 years. We've never been apart. He was my service dog for 7 years. I retired him during the beginning of covid because his back seemed to be hurting him. The day before his surgery he tumbled out of my truck and the next day his arm was so swollen that the surgeon (thankfully) decided to wait until the swelling went down. Much to all of our surprise the swelling didn't go down, and the skin started to sluff off 2 days later. He was rushed into emergency surgery where they removed the dead tissue. We found out a day after his surgery that he has Flesh Eating disease! He's been such a trooper through it all. His surgery was on July 21, and it's now Oct 15th. He goes in every 2 days for bandage changes. Everyone at the vet office adores Copper! He absolutely loves going in and seeing all his friends at the office. A few days ago his back completely gave in. He can no longer walk on his hind end. Now I'm struggling with an impossible decision. He hasn't even fully recovered from the first surgery! I don't think it would be fair to put him through a painful back surgery, but he can't continue to live like this... I fear my only choice will be saying goodbye to my bestfriend and allowing him to rest in peace. We go to the vet tomorrow to make sure there is no other options, but my heart is so very heavy right now. I'm pretty sure the vet is going to tell me it is his time :(
I'm sorry this has happened to your boy. It's very hard to say goodbye to them. They're just like family.
So sorry. We love them so much but we have to let go eventually. I said goodbye last week but got 12 years of wonderful memories I’m focusing on ❤️
Tears are dropping from my eyes reading about Copper and you. I guess this kind of decision is the toughest to do in one`s life. I cried and mourned for 4 years after I had to put my companion to sleep. I know how desolate you feel and I am with you, I tell you. Love and peace to Copper, whatever outcome there was. (/from Germany)
@@TiomofeeThank you so much for the kind words. Just wanted to give you an update on my beautiful Copper dog. I decided to go through with the back surgery, and I'm soooo thankful that I did!!! Copper is still healing on his leg from the first surgery, but he's up and walking like a champ!!!! The life has come back into his eyes, and he's as cheeky as ever :)
This dog is 100% pure!
That is not surprising me. As a more you talking to your dog, that's more he understands. Same about all the animals.
İ liked this comment. Right !
true... i had a cat ( died from cancer at only 3 years old ). I found him abandonned as a kitten and raised and educated him. I spoke to him every moment and he understood my words, answered and he was even waiting my words before moving...
Not always. I had a Malamute who, while adorable, was the Forest Gump of Dogs, loved him anyway.
@@pennetierphilippe8529 I talk with my cats all the time and they respond, one communicates with me. The other follows commands but doesn't communicate verbally as much. Just like people, some talk more than others.
@@_Y.Not_ there are exceptions of course. It's possible olso to understand, but don't want to listen to you. They are like kids. 😁Merry Christmas!
I love how he does the classic German Shepherd head tilt at every word his owner says 💜

Made me cry, wonderful dog, wonderful story.
The connections between them is amazing. It shows how much love is in Mike’s heart for this dog. Nice, sweet video.
Every dog should be loved like this. The unconditional love they give back to us is incredible. Dogs feed the soul. I’m glad you have each other!
You got me all choked up here........
So, the Hebrew word for dog is kelev
Kelev is made of two other words
Kol- all, whole, complete
And
Lev- heart
So the literal name for dogs is in fact "all heart"
God gave us dogs to teach us unconditional love.
From your mouth to God's ear!! You nailed it!!!
I agree sooo much. 40 percent of humans suck shiy. My two dogs are amazing
@@hummingbird_saltalamakia Nice, thanks. I love that information.
The dog's eyes beautiful. Must be his soul shining through.

It was exactly what i thought! Like really a soul is watching you! Especially the first minutes in the car
Excellent comment!! Exactly!
No its the lack of melanin that make his eyes like that.
@@mogambo2445 well now youve made it not special. im gonna ignore this
I had a Belgian shepherd. And I said the same thing. She just knew. She was more human than people I know, with a greater sense of empathy for your situations than anyone I know. I could just talk to her. Only instead of barking she would whistle thru her nose. But I swore she knew what I was saying and it was that way from day 1. These dogs and connections are rare. I've always had dogs and loved all of them. But she earned the spot at the top. It's really nice to see someone else sharing that kind of bond with their dog. Thanks brother.
The dad and the dog both are amazing
The way he moves his head is SO CUTE!
Yes 😂
That’s what you get with a German Shepherd…Head Tilts for days
I have a miniature poodle who does exactly the same thing, he really listens to what I'm saying and he's just over a year old. My two cats also know what I'm saying and talk back to me and they have to be wherever I am. Animals are just the smartest if you invest your time and love into them. ❤

@@Scott-wz4sc Far more lovable than actual people lmao

@@alanchizik8328 go Marry a dog you dodo
A dog understands sign language better than words cause that's how they communicate in the wild. So it's not about that he simply talks to him. The dog is listening for words that he knows are associated with specific actions.
If every dog was like that then no one would be lonely and less dogs in shelters ❤
Shepherds are SO intelligent ❤
His head movements are so unusual, almost human. This is probably the smartest dog I've ever seen. And his temperament is amazing. He's always calm and loving, even when he's excited. What a good dog he is. 💖💖
Shepherd, no more to be said.
GSDs love to head tilt, it is one of their (many) endearing qualities.
My little blind guy headtilts all the time. It melts my heart 😭❤️ hes such a good listener. I love talking to him
I was so amazed, this was a great video.🙂
You can tell how profoundly intelligent that dog is with one look in his eyes. 🐶❤️
Dogs are increasingly picking up language acquisition skills.
The more you talk to them the better they get. They slowly but surely pick up on things.

And you lady deserve recommendation I seldom give: "Jerry of the islands" by Jack London. You might like it and you might get it.
You can also tell it by the size and shape of his head. That fur missile got the big brain.
I MELT everytime I see a dog tilting their head like he does. I CANNOT DEAL. Too adorable 🥰🥰🥰😘
I ain't never seen a dog do this! This is incredible!❤
The fact that he keeps tilting his head means he’s listening!!! This is the sweetest thing ever.
He has no clue cause he only speaks Spanish and french
People often confuse the "head tilt" as confusion but I have always thought it was a form of "eye contact" or understanding. Great dog and great owner!
i heard its their way of listening sounds in a 3d space as they can only hear very well in front of them and if your above them or below they cant hear as well
The latest research says it is a sign of attention. When they tilt their head, they are paying close attention to you.
@@littlebitofhope1489 it s both, the dogs were originated from wolves breeding with men in the paleolitic, the big dogs that looks pretty much like wolves (huskies, german sheperd, australian sheperd etc) need activities, they pretty much all get bored pretty fast, so when their human companion are talking to them they want to know what are the next activities planned, and with some key words and their pretty good memory, they know what is about to happen. the key word "Ice cream" was making him happy. so when his owner is speaking he is orienting towards the sound because unlike our ears which are not moving, they need to move ears and head to capt the sound properly and being able to perceive keys words as: park, ice cream, bring me the ball, etc. they can remember a lot. This dog for example seemed trained, but he also could be even more intelligent than most dogs of the same breed, he could carry a particular gene sequence that is making him even better at memorizing sound and understanding. Dogs can recognize a lot of our facial expressions, intonation and the feeling associated: so when the man says the key word "mom" with a sad intonation, even though the dog can't understand that she is sick and what is the illness, he knows something is wrong and that it s making the man sad.
@@cban8637 I've learned not to argue with scientists that actually do the research. That research dealt with head tilt. You are talking of many other things. That's ok, but it doesn't change what I said, nor does it change the evidence in the research.
@@littlebitofhope1489 What you’re saying is you’ve learned to just mindlessly repeat information instead of thinking for yourself during the process. Congrats.
AWWWWW.......I LOVE THE WAY....... HE MOVES HIS HEAD.......ANIMALS OVE......BETTER THAN PEOPLE......ANIMALS ARE THE BEST.......FOREVER......!!!
I've lost mine 10 yrs ago due to veterinarian negligence. Nothing compares to unconditional LOVE of GS to his master. God bless you and your sweetheart doggy
Lord i can't imagine losing a pet in that way. So sorry for your loss,
"The more you love your dog, the more your dog's going to respond to you" ...A_M_E_N to that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish there were more dog owners like you, sir. Thank you so much for being a great dog lover/owner.
I concur, they also reincarnate to the next level up...to be human.
Are you muslim. Then you should stay away from dogs it is prohibited in islam
the more you love your dog the more you secure them when travelling in a vehicle, why treat the dog any different to a human if you love them... this man is a complete plank

@@tonidewonderful4187 Wow..at 45 years of age I know of only 1 person who has been in a serious accident. How many times are you going to take your dog in the car? What is the chance that you will be in an accident with your dog in the car? Almost zero. Maybe sometimes people should be allowed to just live their lives without the big nanny telling them off

He knows tones of voice and word pronunciation. Ohhh What a blessing of a dog! Beautiful video brother.
My German Shepherd did the exact same thing every time I talked to her ❤
I wish every animal had just one person to love them the way this man loves his boy.
I love the way he tips his head back and forth as if to hear him differently through each ear ! A truly great dog !
Beautiful, smart, sweet dog. Owner who loves him madly. Nothing better.
If you say "ice cream" each and every time there is ice cream around ...a dog is going to learn very easily ....no different than learning his name. A word, the same word, used EVERY TIME something happens, is how a dog learns.
The tilting of this dog's head strongly suggests he really is paying attention to his master!
True, for good and for bad. Some owners suprised pikachu face when their dog have learn bad behaviour
Just like my kids...
Yes, his master and not his dad.
yeah its called dog training. try teaching your cat the word ice cream and get back to me
Somehow the word "master" is so triggering.
I’m crying just listening to how much love there is between this man and his dog. Stories like these never get old because they tug at our heart strings. ❤️🥰✌️👍🇨🇦
It made me tear up too, for the same reason. Beautiful relationship. I love my dog like he's my child, I get the love. Merry Christmas!
@@trendywipp3715 Merry Christmas to you too! 🎅🏻☃️🎄❄️❤️
Merry Christmas from Alberta Canada....your comment is very sweet
It was adorable and it hit me in the gut with the feelz 🥰
I had a few tears in my eyes too!!! Those two are *BEST* buddies. It was just sooooo joyful watching this lovely video!!🥲🥰🥲
How precious. Thank you for loving him so much.
Buddy is going to need a doggie chiropractor with all those head tilts! 😂😂😂 What a beautiful relationship!
The head tilts are almost too much!!! I loved it when he said “I love him like my son”!!! He is smart and ADORABLE!!❤️
A cat is not a dog , but i have a cat and can say he's so smart and he's MY son ^^ "minouche" watchable on my channel ^^
The genuine pride in Mike's voice when he's speaking about Buddy is incredible. There's real feeling in "What a good boy my dog is"
I love how h understands not to go across the road because it's unsafe, rules. Wow the understanding they have is so precious
Every dog has the capacity to make us better people. A Best friend indeed.
I have a border collie that understands every single thing I say. Even when I'm talking to someone else. Every night he lays across my back and gets rid of the pain. I'm a veteran and if I even begin to have a bad dream he wakes me up. Lifting my arms and head until I wake up. He's laying at my feet right now. Never more than a few inches from me. Smartest human I've ever known.
Thank you for your service Sir!!! So glad you have your precious dog with you. God bless you & yours.🙏❤🙏
We had a Sheltie - incredibly intelligent animal. Her name was Boston and I swear she was almost human.
I have 2 Collies as well. They have to be some of the most sensitive and gentle dogs ever. Always exactly where they need to be even if I didn't know they needed to be there. Thanks for your service as well!
Had a shephard/malmute and ? mix who grew to outweigh me by 30 lbs. He was impressive but a gentle love. He was super intuitive. Saved one of my daughters from a predator without mauling the jerk. No breaking of skin...the family tried to press charges and blackmail us...it was so obvious. No law enforcement, animal control or veterinarians would say one bad word about the dog. If he had been vicious...all agreed the pervert would have had at least a broke n arm. He also saved a life of a very out of control person by laying across the distraught person until the crisis passed. Some things are unforgettable. Dogs are blessings.
Pretty much the same here. "April" a German Shepherd, had a thing where she would clean my ears, nose and eyes when I was having a difficult time, therefore waking me up. She started laying across my abdomen at some point and started scratching at it. Turns out that there was cancer (Am good now...) that she knew about before I did.
What a fortunate man to have such a wise best friend. He is like a loyal family member. Love this channel.
Buddy was euthanized. Now he uses Buddy’s offspring in the same fake hungry way.
He was euthanized because he was dying of cancer. Don’t be a jerk.
My dog tilts his head as well. It’s so cute knowing that he’s listening haha.
Just saw your video. AWESOME!
MY GS just like him.
I rescued him at about 8 mos .They told me that he was at least a year old.l don't believe that.
They told me he was a small GS Fully grown and would not get any bigger.
10 days in the pound, nobody wanted him. He was 68 lbs.Too small.
I took him anyway.l
He grew about 4 inches taller and gained 40 lbs. He is gorgeous and strangers tell me that every day. He's now 5 and 1/2
Years old.
When he was about 18 mos.old (based on how he grew) l bought a house with 10 acres fenced. Really just for him.
I took him to a few classes and they told me 1 word commands only.
I didn't believe that either.
His name is Bandit.
I speak to him in full sentences. He understands everything.
He's awesome,sweet, kind to everyone, Protective, loving and sometimes smarter than me. I believe he has the vocabulary of a 4 year old child.
How could I be so lucky? I'm not.
German Shepard's are special and GOD BLESSED ME WITH THIS INCREDIBLE FRIEND!
Thanks for your video!
Buddy and Mike are true soul mates....Wonderful to see people love, appreciate, and respect these animals.
I'm looking for my doggie soul mate. Not interested in people.
@@violimo Doggie people instead of human people..
One THE MOST PAINFUL experiences I’ve ever went through was losing my German shepherd, he was the only person that understood me, I still shed tears thinking about my bearbear. He got me through middle school. Never forget asking my parents for a brother. One day I come home from school there was a 8 week old GS in my room. He was still by my side when we got our first apartment after I graduated. I'm so happy he got a chance to play with my daughter before he passed. He lived a long life. My dad almost shot someone before for kicking my brother never forget that day. We loved him. He was truly apart of my life got me through high school break ups and everything. He's licked plenty tears from my face before his passing. The best little big brother ever.
I get that, all of it, I felt that way about a lot of my dogs that I cherished all through my 54yrs of life.
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ 🫂
I know how you feel I lost one Labrador who was 14 and one who was 15 years ago and I still have my moments every day ,when I cry and that horrible sad feeling comes back.
I am so sorry for your loss
@@angelapietras1235 The only thing I know of that helps that pain and sadness is getting another dog. Not to replace the ones you lost, to bring the joy back. I understand how you feel. 😌
His eyes when he went to see his grandma, Buddy looked sad but happy he was there. He has “human eyes”❤
"I love this dog like one of my sons!" That's the way it should be.
We all feel like our pets understand everything we say. But Buddy's head tilt when he listens really SELLS it. I am convinced they know when we aren't feeling well. He was great with Mike's mom - best medicine for our souls!
Look ♫ Look ♫ Look ♫ ✨🏅😊
May the ducks heal you 🦆💕✨
May it spread to everyone 😊✨💕
They do! They know when you're sick, pregnant, or just having a bad day. Animals are truly amazing💞
Animals in general are way smarter than most people give em credit for or even realize. This was an awesome example of it!
Animals were not tricked by a psycho to worship a world-flooding maniac ;)
Agreed, I've had birds that are just as intelligent... as a matter of fact, I have a five-month-old house sparrow that I rescued when she was three days old and understands a lot of what I am communicating to her. She lives in the house with me at night and Flies free outside around the forest all day. She loves and trusts that I have nothing but good intentions for her and therefore the communication between her and I is astounding. All animals need is your pure sense of desire to communicate with them, purely love them and feel the trust from you and you will get the same back. I feel extremely happy to have this kind of communication with not only my dog, but my "wild" bird as well😊😁👍
If you put in the effort to develop their cognition process and balance lot of it out you get good results.
I agree and i have always said this also i prefer to work with animals than people
I wish I have a friend like that ❤❤❤❤
I completely understand this guy. Our puppy is very similar to his pup. She is incredibly intelligent and loves us as much as we love her. She understands words and even spelling. We are so incredibly grateful to have her in our lives. She is 13 now, and she is such a wonderful pup, and we love her so deeply that it’s hard to imagine her not being a part of our lives and family. She is such a happy girl and has gone out of her way to make our mornings happy that we can barely remember when we were grumpy about the days starting. But we actually enjoy the mornings with our Baby Girl now, and we are so incredibly grateful for our Lovey Baby.
He is a good boy, indeed; and an intelligent one, too.
I believe these two have a telepathic connection. It goes beyond linguistics.
Recommended to you too huh?
@@MattHossZone
👍🎯🌼 The Dodo rocks!
Happy New Year.
He just remembers the words
You believe a dog is communicating with a human being via telepathy? 😆
It's a very sweet video but come on dude.
NO, thats a shepard.
That street behaviour is A+ ❤
He was such a good dog! He will be missed😭
Had a black lab named Buddy. He tilted his head whenever I spoke to him just like Mike's Buddy. We love our dogs!
Yeah hate to break it to you but that doesn’t mean he understands what you’re saying.
@@Lion-O-Richie2040 Obviously it doesn't understand grammar, but just for the fact that they tilt their head just waiting for the right word, the one they know, is already very impressive.
@@Lion-O-Richie2040 Well, I dont think you know them enough. Dogs esp. GSD not only know our language but it's also know our thought. We not only think they don't know our words but also don't understand their response.
Mine dont tilt, but the smartest dog i ever known
@@Lion-O-Richie2040 hate to break it to you , but I know a German Shepard who knows over 100 English words . Each word he can describe in detail what it means with his actions . Like if you just say the word ‘Grab’ , nothing else , he will come up and gently grab your hand with his mouth . Not many dogs can do this but, I’ve saw it first hand . He can literally show you each word with a detail
I think when dogs turn their head side ways it’s a sign of intelligence. I believe he does understand everything this man says!! BFF’s forever ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Listening for favorite words 😄
@@Starry_Night_Sky7455 yea they know key words..i love it..listen to his dad emphasizing key words..LOL..smart furbaby
What a sweet, beautiful boy! I love all dogs, but German Shepherds have a very special place in my heart. I've had two throughout my life, and they were both wonderful. You are very blessed to have found each other. Thank you for loving Buddy the way that all dogs deserve to be loved. May you have many more happy, healthy years together.❤
That is absolutely adorable I love the way dogs do that twisting their heads every which way and also the way they twich their ears when they are listening to you
What a gorgeous boy. And Mike is a wonderful doggy dad.
I've had three German Shepherds. They're amazing. My Duke lived for 13 years and spent almost every day with me. I would take him to work and to my neighbors when I would visit. Everyone knew Duke. He was an ambassador for large dogs. Children would be drawn to him and say he was a wolf. He was so gentle and they loved him. A few times, neighbor's girls would knock on my door and ask if Duke could come out and play. They would put azalea leaves on his head.
We had an almost telepathic connection. He would look at my eyes to see if I was looking towards the car to go for a ride.
I haven't been able to bring myself to get another. I miss them so much.
Dear Frank, I want you to know that you can give another pup the chance to make your life fuller thru adoption. Take all of the love that you had with Duke, and make another dog live the life worthy of its being. 🐾
Democrat Joe 💩Biden just Replaced his German Shepard Dog with a New German Shepard Puppy. I HATE people who use dogs as props and there are a lot of them. If you don't look forward to taking care of your pets you should not be a pet owner. My dog loves riding in the car and going to the river or beach. I love taking her there.🐕
Get your self another puppy you are not replacing your dog just adding to the family ❤ I went through this no help nothing will replace him new member of love you have to much love not to share trust me
I've had the privilege to have been with two dogs like Buddy in my life. One was when I was still a toddler! My earliest memory is from the summer of 1968 when I was shown her as a puppy in a shoe box. We were inseparable for years! She did the same head tilt when I talked to her. Now, we have one that we adopted in 2016 who's the same. He's such a happy, kind soul who loves everyone he sees. The love is so pure and unconditional.
It's stories like this that make me believe in animal reincarnation. I really believe that some pets come back to their owners.
I know people who love their dogs like family. I never had dogs as a kid, and as an adult I never got a dog because life is to busy. Then I figured if I got 1 dog and was never home I would need to get 2 to keep each other company. So unfortunately I never got any pets.
@@justsayin3600 It’s never too late! You can always get a cat. They still need love and care but don’t need to be taken outside or walked.
You got me teary eyed. So glad you two have each other - and your Mom too.
Truly man's best. And that head tilt is too adorable!
💕💕💕
I love how he doesn't just soak him with love, but teaches him, "rules", as well as IQ training like, "Catch ball, drop ball." It's Alpha male energy that dogs respond to. Small things like that mean a lot to a Shepherd, and it translates really well into their discipline training as well as their temperament.
I get so emotional watching “a boy” and his dog. Buddy is truly special, even for the already exceptional GSD.
Impossible to stop loving that boy!
Bless him!
So heartwarming. No better friend to man, than his dog.
Until he decided to euthanize him.
@@JulieLorraine1 Thanks, Debbie Downer.
It is the truth. He euthanized him. It’s horrible.
@@damemarthafalker6738 she probably considers herself the fun one at parties too 🙄
@@JulieLorraine1 where did you hear this? Was the dog sick or something?
RIP buddy, he has a brother named Pal now who carries on his spirit, he lost his battle to cancer earlier this year and it breaks my heart when I think about him.
I know exactly how you feel. What a good boy in heaven.
What an amazing dog and amazing dog owner! 💕
This is the video I've seen all year 2023. I hope your dog is still with you today. He's a good boy.
Yes, he's definitely a master dog trainer who has learned the secret to any creature's heart: Love.
And ice cream.
it really is that easy.
"Master dog trainer" and "secret" doesn't really fit with something as obvious and simple as love but I get what you mean
