We had a dog, Belugue. He was a great dog. She had trained him to obey her very well. When we lived by the beach, we'd take him for walks without a leash and he would listen and stop at crosswalks, and cross when she'd tell him to go. Of course, he did that anywhere we went.
She did the same things with dogs she owned later: taught them to obey her voice so they woudn't have to be on a leash. She liked having them 'free'.


On avait un chien, Belugue. C'etait un chien super. Elle l'avait dresse a lui obeir. Quand on habitait pres de la plage, on l'emmenait se promener sans laisse et il s'arretait aux passages pietons, et traversait quand elle lui disait "Aller!". Bien sur, il obeissait de la meme maniere partout ou on allait.
Elle avait fait la meme chose avec les chiens qu'elle a eu plus tard: elle leur apprenait l'obeissance a sa voix pour qu'ils n'aient pas a etre attaches en laisse.
