Gullit, the Dog of the Day
Name: Gullit
Age: Eight years old
Gender: Female
Breed: Terrier
Home: Ankara, Turkey
 
   What makes Gullit special is her extreme intelligence. I have a saying: "A clever dog does what his/her owner wants him/her to do, but a more clever dog does not." Gullit learns quickly and understands a huge number of words and commands. She thinks of every consequence that may occur after some event. For example, she immediately gets away when someone says Scissors, since she hates to be shaved.

    Another example: she learned how to get down the slide by staring at small children playing on the slide (she learned herself, we did not say anything to try to make her learn to slide). And when we say Kay! (meaning Slide! in Turkish), she gets on top of the slide, waits her turn in the queue among small children, gets down the slide and comes near us. She immediately gets her reward.
