Do you have difficulty with math problems? Then, you need a dog like Beau who is not only a great pet but also a math genius(天才).
Twelve years ago, Canady sent the 3-month-old dog to her parents Dan and Patti. Dan has been around dog all his life. He found that Beau was more clever that other dogs and decided to see if he could teach him math.
Dan taught Beau math by putting out some dog cookies. Beau told the number by barking(吠) as many times as the number. If Beau barked right. Dan would give him some tasty dog food. Before long, Beau began “barking” his answers all the way to ten.
