Patricia B. McConnell Quote

If OK meant that it’s all right to get up now, it makes sense that Pip would respond when she heard it. So if your dog Chief can pick the word sit out of the middle of a sentence, what is he to make of Good sit after he already sat? With Pip I got caught up in using words as if I were talking to a human, and I think other owners replicate that mistake often.1
