“When you get a pet, sooner or later you get a broken heart. Your heart gets whole when you can risk its being broken again.”
John W. Pilley, Chaser: Unlocking the Genius of the Dog Who Knows a Thousand Words

“There was no doubt about it. Chaser had learned Puddin the pony’s name in a single trial. Identifying the new object correctly after hearing its name only once indicated that Chaser had achieved a form of referential understanding. Somehow she had grasped the idea that objects can have names.”
John W. Pilley, Chaser: Unlocking the Genius of the Dog Who Knows a Thousand Words

“Border collies' sensitivity to the human voice compliments one of their most remarkable instinctual gifts, the "eye".”
John W. Pilley, Chaser: Unlocking the Genius of the Dog Who Knows a Thousand Words
