Video: Golden Retriever Has a Unique Way of Communicating With Owner
Dogs have some of the most unique ways of communicating with their owners, often leaving them in awe. To provide an apt example, a recently uploaded Instagram video shows how a Golden Retriever conveys her words to her owner. Named Gamja, the pup flaunts her tap dancing skills when she wants to say something. In the caption, her pet parent highlights, 'Her little tippy taps,' which has also gained viewers' attention. In a cute Instagram video, a Golden Retriever named Gamja communicates with her owner through tap dancing. It begins with the furbaby approaching her pet parent near the latter's bed and tapping her front legs. The owner understands that the dog wants to say something. Thus, she asks, 'What is it?' Gamja growls, which the owner interprets in an in-video text: 'You know better! You are late!' Laughing, her human asks if the pup is hungry. The Golden moves her eyebrows, assuming she knows what her owner is trying to communicate. While the pet is brainstorming, her sibling, Chip, appears. As the latter hears the word 'hungry,' he is all set to go to the kitchen. Meanwhile, the Golden Retriever exclaims, 'Starving!,' in the video. This gains Chip's attention as he returns and agrees with Gamja. He supports his sibling and barks at the owner so that she can get out of her bed and serve them food. When the pet parent says, 'Let's go!,' both Golden Retrievers get excited. Chip hops on the bed, showcasing his happiness, while Gamja waits patiently. Viewers thoroughly enjoyed the Golden Retriever video, which was uploaded a day ago. Since not much time has passed, the clip has garnered 734 likes at the time of writing. Meanwhile, a user commented, 'Thats exactly how I act when I'm hungry. Same gamja same.' In response, the uploader said, 'I should call it the hunger taps,' also writing, 'She does this when she tries to 'talk.'' The post Video: Golden Retriever Has a Unique Way of Communicating With Owner appeared first on DogTime.

Ms Saunders said she preferred to teach tap dancing rather than performing in shows and had taught hundreds of pupils over the added dancing had helped her through tough times during her life, including during World War Two."It was a break from everything else because it was all blackouts and you couldn't see where you were going," Ms Saunders said."We had little costumes which the teacher would make out of crepe paper and we would dance in the village hall." Ms Saunders' current students said having her still teaching people at the age of 95 was "something special" and they did not think she would stop anytime McCrory, who attends the weekly classes in Penzance, said: "She's got more energy than all of us."We call her 'One More Joy' because she's always saying 'just one more, just one more' and we're saying 'can't we just go and have a cup of coffee?'."Fellow tap dancer Ann Lawrence added Ms Saunders was an inspirational person."I think it's special for everybody else to see the art of what's possible," she said.
