Talkingabout dogs, everyone also know their intelligence. As this pet dog. A family’s new puppy has become a treasured addition — after digging up sovereign gold coins worth nearly £6,000. His name is Ollie.
Adam Clark, 51, bought lagotto romagnolo Ollie as a surprise gift for daughter Alicia, nine. And on his first walk around local fields in Blackpool, he sniffed out 15 coins, some from the 19th century. These are very important with me”
Adam said: “We’d literally been walking for around ten minutes. Ollie started frantically digging and uncovered the pile of gold pieces — I couldn’t quite believe it. The treasure is one thing but the fact is I’ve bought myself my very own gold hunter, and I cannot wait to take him out again. He is obviously a very special pup and I’m thrilled with what he brings to the table — quite literally!”
The breed is notorious for digging, especially for truffles.
Adam added: “When we got him we thought he seemed special.”We go to find dogs can smart like that.
If you’ve spent any amount of time around dog owners, you know that sooner or later, one will claim that their dog is the smartest pooch that ever lived. While this claim may be dubious (after all, everyone knows that your dog is the smartest of all time).
Many researchers, would put a dog’s intelligence on par with that of a 2-year-old human. of course, but the overall skill set that the average dog possesses equates roughly to that of a toddler (and if you’ve spent any time at all around toddlers, that may make you rethink just how smart dogs really are). Being that smart does make them one of the most intelligent animal species in the world, but they’re not necessarily exceptional. Other animals, like cats, pigs, horses, monkeys, and dolphins, can all lay claim to being as smart as your average dog, if not smarter.
Dogs may have a reputation for being smarter than they are simply because they’re so agreeable, which makes them easy to study. It’s much easier to convince a dog to jump through a bunch of hoops than a cat, for example.
