EXTRA POINT
Griff the Wonder Dog's two favorite words: "Do you." When he hears them his ears perk up and he does the tilting head thing before we can even get a third word out. That's because the two words are always followed by one of his four favorite activities. Here they are in order:

Do you want to eat?
Do you want to go for a hike?
Do you want to go in the car?
Do you want to go out?
