Sascha Crasnow believes that Parker, her two-year-old Beagle mix, can "speak" to her by using her paw to tap buttons with prerecorded words on them.
The dog recently coined a new term for ambulance, after spotting one parked outside, by pressing the buttons "squeaker" and then "car," she says. During a visit from Crasnow's father, the dog asked his name by using three buttons: "what," "word" and "human."
