My dog Zeus is 3.75 yr old boxer big boy tall and 99 to 104 lb. Pure breed. Extremely intelligent tells time, spells didn't teach him, problem solving from 7 weeks old Knows 8am 5pm is insulin shots for my husband and smells his breath constantly checking his sugar levels. He knows when he needs a snack or drink even if bedroom door is closed. He understands and argues his point he talks like chewbacca but rarely barks he has never damaged or torn anything. He's what my friends call a human in a dog suit.
