I guess they are just born that way...

I was playing fetch with my dog on Saturday when a happy family walked by us. Mom, Dad, baby in stroller and a toddler girl sitting on her Dad's shoulders. I got this snippet of their conversation:

Toddler Girl: Oooh that doggy is fast.
Dad: Yes he sure is.
TG: He has to mind his master doesn't he?
D: Yes
TG: He minds well, doesn't he.
D: Yes
TG: Daddy can I have one of those shiny collars?

D: Let's see if Santa can get you one?

Whoa. Dogs.
