Description: Chaser has a way with words. She knows over a thousand of them -- more than any other animal of any species except humans. And she and her owner/trainer, retired psychologist John Pilley, have now demonstrated her ability to understand sentences with multiple elements of grammar and to learn new behaviors by imitation. John's work with Chaser offers a fresh perspective on what's possible in the relationship between a dog and a human.
