If you've ever had any doubt that dogs are brilliant creatures, look no further: Chaser the Border Collie is here to blow your mind.
Watch in awe as the one and only Neil Degrasse Tyson introduces you to a truly remarkable dog who knows at least 1,000 words — and can easily identify each of his many, many toys just by hearing their specific names. It's an incredible sight. Her vocabulary is stunning, and she can learn new words in a matter of minutes.
Dr. Pilley, Chaser's owner and the man who worked with her on her skills, says, "I think we're just on the frontier in terms of discovering what dogs can do. Dogs have earned our respect and that's the message we would like to get across. You have an amazing animal in your home when you have a dog."
