One such video showed two pit bulls, Mila and Huxley, reacting to a story that had all their favorite words.

Their mom, Kaitlyn Daughtry, tells them excitedly, “Guess what? Yesterday I went for a ride to grandma’s house, and when I got to grandma’s house I showed her all the new dog toys I got… And then after, I went for a walk to the dog park…”

Whoever says dogs don’t understand us are wrong❤️ ##pitbullsoftiktok ♬ Story time with your dogs favorite words – kaitlyn_daughtry

You could see how they got excited at each mention of their favorite word!

Kaitlyn tells The Dodo that it’s because grandma has become the pups’ favorite. It turns out that she spoils them! “She brings personalized bags with their names on it, every time, with toys and treats in them,” says Kaitlyn.

Kaitlyn found the dogs’ reactions to be “the cutest ever!” She adds, “It was so hard not to laugh when I was telling the story.”

People and dogs around the world have had similar experiences.
