I knew it

Dogs as Smart as 2-year-old Kids
"The canine IQ test results are in: Even the average dog has the mental abilities of a 2-year-old child.

The finding is based on a language development test, revealing average dogs can learn 165 words (similar to a 2-year-old child), including signals and gestures, and dogs in the top 20 percent in intelligence can learn 250 words. "

It also says that dogs can count up to 4 and have a grasp of basic math. Whether or not dogs can look up is still up for debate.

There was also a study that I read about a few weeks ago that dogs that drank guiness (or any stout) were healthier than the dogs who drank lager. Oh here it is! You know this experiment was mainly done to give dogs beer, get them wasted, and watch them careen around the room as they drunkenly chased a frisbee like frat boys chasing a tramp stamped co-ed in a wrigleyville bar. I guess this time you could say the dog needs more beer.
