There was a topic on Reddit, "Chances are your dog knows more English than a significant proportion of the Human race". OK, my dogs only know "sit", "stay", "plank", "come", "walkies", "die for the Queen" and "stop chewing that squirrel", but when you think that 80% of the world's population is utterly benighted and knows no English, that's pretty good. www.babbel.com/en/magazine/how-many-people-speak-english-and-where-is-it-spoken

From what I observed in the majority of these farang/thai marriages, the dog speaks better english than both, pigeon english and hand signals seems to be the norm, in every case khun ai farangs thai language skills are non existant.

It could be more in the tone and body language. I had a dog and if you yelled "good boy" and wagged your finger at it, it would put its tail between its legs and hang it's head. If you said "you're a <duck>ing idiot" gently and gave him a rub he'd be all over you.

Without even knowing it, you have just described 99% of these farang marriages, some upcountry princess barks at the farang, มานี่สิ, got to love that tonal language, even blind freddy could suss it out, ffs my mrs wouldnt even talk to the dog like that.
