00:00 Man's best friend may be smarter than you think.
00:04 Scientists in Hungary say there's new evidence showing dogs link specific words to objects.
00:10 They studied dogs' brains when their owners referred to an object they had seen before,
00:15 for example a favorite toy.
00:18 Sometimes the owners would show the right object when using the word, other times the
00:22 wrong object.
00:23 The scans revealed that the dogs' brains responded one way when the word and object
00:28 matched and another way when they didn't match.
00:32 That means they linked objects with specific words.
00:36 And guess what?
00:37 Your brain does the same thing.
00:39 They understand the object words and that shows that their understanding of words is
00:46 very similar to what we see in humans.
00:49 All of this means you better watch what you say around your pets.
