German Shepherd Mix 'Warns' Other Pups at Vet in Funny Clip
Taking your dog to the vet can be a chore if they're the "not really into it" type. Even the most well-behaved pups get anxious because they know all the things that happen there. That's exactly why Banjo, a German Shepherd mix, did his very best to warn all the dogs in the waiting room about what awaits them behind the door!
@lifewithbanjo Not the biggest fan of the vet you could say he did get a #pupcup afterwards #germanshepherd#shepherdmix#rottweiler#talkingdog

This is one dog who's not a fan of the whole vet activity, but sometimes it has to happen. Good thing he got a pup cup afterward for being such a good boy. I'm sure all those dogs he warned would thank him if they could.
The Shepherd's devoted fans noted he's such a "dog's dog" who tried to tell the others, "it's a trap, guys," and I think that's true. When your pup starts barking or howling at the others in the vet's office, you just know they're spilling all the tea!

Known to his more than 38k TikTok fans as "100 pounds of puppy energy," Banjo and his "baby brain" know how to steal the hearts of every man, woman, and child without effort (including me). This funny pup has gone viral many times over thanks to his dazzling personality and constant complaining!
Seriously-when he's not narking on the vet, he has a lot to chat about (everything, all the time)!

Do Dogs Understand Others?
Just because dogs can't speak with actual words doesn't mean they don't understand what other fellow canines are saying to them. By using scent, body language, and whatever vocalizations are coming out, dogs can interpret the basics of a doggy conversation.
Everything from fear, aggression, or playfulness can be detected through another's posture, ear and tail position, and the dog's vocal pitch when barking at them. That means Banjo probably did his job in warning the others not to go into the exam room. If only they could've taken his advice and left, that would've been revolutionary in canine communication!
