Animals can in fact understand us humans and other animals. They show this by reactin to us with body movements and sounds. I don’t believe that they understand our language, but they understand our tone of voice and behavior. Aka, why we are able to train animals :)

While looking through the magazine i saw this beautiful woman, in a red silky dress, with beautiful blond hair and gorgeous green eyes, she was sitting on a dark brown chair with her legs crossed and her hands in her lap, with dark purple nails. While she was sitting she had the most beautiful smile that anyone has ever seen. And she had dark mid-night colored high-heels with rhinestones on them. Her hair was half up half down with braids going down the side of her head leading on to her long silky hair and her hair was curled in the prettyist way. She looked so elegant like a Queen.
