He did "talk" quite a bit. I wouldn't be surprised if he'd have used footnotes, in some parallel universe where I kept him and hacked up some dog keyboard so he could use the internet... he was quite smart and dogs often mimic behaviors from their owners, although obviously influenced by their understanding and abilities.
Tesla was an incredible hybrid, I believe a first-generation cross of two breeds each considered quite intelligent in their own way: his mother was a PTSD therapy terrier, and his father [whom I never met] was a sheltie.
LOL
