We might speak to our dogs like they can understand us, but can they really? And what we wouldn’t give for them to talk back.
But if they could speak our language, what would they sound like?
Would they share our Mancunian accent?
One dog who sounds extremely British is the Chihuahua captured in this video, although he’s definitely not a northerner.
In the video posted on Tik Tok by @pawmasterdoggrooming, the pint-sized pooch can be heard muttering what sounds very much like he’s saying hello.
And once you watch the video, you won't be able to unhear it.
The on-screen caption read: “My Chihuahua can speak with an English accent.”
Clearly amazed at this little dog’s human-like voice, the video has gone viral on the video sharing site with 5.7 million views and 1.5 million likes.
Like us, many were enamoured by the adorable dog, agreeing with the owner that the dog did indeed sound British.
One commented: “Is this my grandma?”
A second added: “This is the cutest thing ever.”
A third wrote: “Ello mate.”
“Someone get this dog some tea and crumpets,” joked another.
