Excitedly, he grabs the phone to call the vet saying, “Doc, I can’t believe it! My dog is a totally new animal.

The first owner got angry and said “Come on, you did it before – what’s 87 minus 35?” The dog thought and finally barked 11 times. The first owner turned to his friend and said “Ha, see, I told you he could do math!” His friend just laughed and said “That’s nothing, ask your dog this last question: What is the square root of 1024?” The owner said “Okay boy, come on now, what’s the square root of 1024?” The dog started pawing at the ground, barking repeatedly, jumping up and down excitedly.
