I was hoping Updog had got a new round of funding and had pivoted.
What's updog ?
Not much, how 'bout you?
If you want a dog getting taught something : My parent's dog recently learned that when you're an old and nearly blind dog, running away mean getting lost.
( And he ran away after learning how to open the previously dog-proof garden's gate... It only took him 16 years. )
Sounds like one of those made up stories, to cover up that the dog actually died.
Since he was found after three days and he's not named Jesus...
