The Bark-Translating Pin

I once found a small pin on the floor of a store. I thought it looked pretty because it had little beads on it, so I took it home. I looked at my dog at home and thought the pin would look good on him. But when I put the pin on him, he suddenly started talking! He said that he wanted a biscuit, so I gave him one! I was so astonished, and from then on, I chatted with him every day, and we talked about the times we spent together. One time he told me that he never understood why I couldn’t understand what he was saying, and I told him that I only heard a bark. He’s my best friend, and now I understand he meant “It’s mine!” when he growled, “I’m scared, where are you going?” when he whined, and “Hey!” when he barked.
