    Dogs with an accent?

    It's not April fool is it? On the way home from work today, there was this women on the radio saying that as a result of extensive research, she has determined that dogs exhbit a regional accent when they bark. This dog phychologist says that the accent is so pronounced that you could tell the difference between a scottish dog and one coming from, say liverpool. Anybody heard about this or was I dreaming it?

    You could tell the difference between a dog from Liverpool and Scotland anyway..

    Scotland dog will be some tiny dog wearing tartan, and the dog from Liverpool will be dressed in Burberry and be drunk.

    do some damn research before you go shooting your mouth off about different regions, and maybe dont believe everything you read in the sun

    you may find that merseyside isnt as bad as a lot of other places for car theft, and id be very interested to know if you have actually been there and been robbed yourself.

    Im sure there's other ways you could tell. Scottish dog wouldn't be buying the drinks. The one from liverpool would make off with your hubcaps.
    To err is human. To really foul things up ... you need a computer.

    Scottish dogs also smell faintly of haggis, carry bag pipes around with them and have a tendancy to wear kilts.
