Foreign Dogs

Small talk and hours of deliberation are spent on Boyfriend's most recent favourite pondering:

Do dogs speak different languages, or is it all just dog?

Do dogs from Japan speak dog Japanese? or is it more breed related, do German Sheperds understand other German Shepherds but not Beagles?

If dogs communicate through body language, do dogs from different countries have special quirks and customs? Does an Aussie dog wag it's tail more often to keep off flies? Are French dogs rude? Do Indian dogs smell worse? Do dogs from Arctic touch noses to say hello?

Who has the answers to these questions? and more importantly (besides Boyfriend) who cares?

don't you think by picking it you're promoting increased snot regeneration? 50 is a lot... you must get caught all the time
