I was eating lunch today with our friends at the California Science Center when a beautiful husky came running around to our table. At first I thought it was a wolf. In a matter of moments, it became clear he had no human so my friend said let's catch him. So we did and soon found out his name was "Leo." There were two phone numbers on his tag and after trying them both a few times a man picked up and we told him his dog was with us at the museum. While we waited for the owner to arrive I petted the dog and rubbed his ears. He was so sweet and knew his commands. I told him to be a good boy and that we were working on getting him back to his humans. He stayed by my side for a while and then he stood up and started barking in a specific way like he was talking directly to me. When his owner came, the dog was excited to see him. It was a joyous reunion. My friend told him about the specific bark and the owner said oh, I taught him to say "I love you." I never had a dog speak "I love you" before but it sure was nice.
