Little Dog Learns to Say I Love You to His Human

A little Chihuahua named Louie learned to vocalize what sounds like “I love you” to his adoring human, Lydia. It came as quite a surprise, but she was happy to hear it. Once he started, he kept doing it.

One time when my husband wasn’t at home and he was just starting to cry and for some reason it sounded like I love you. So I just asked him I love you and he was starting to say I love you back. …And then sometimes he, just before even I say anything, he was just like already saying I love you.

Lydia adopted Louie as a tiny pup from a neighbor.

He was one and a half months old from a house of a Chihuahua. The owner was very very overwhelmed. And they were like, “Whoever want to take them, just take them.” And I was like, “Okay, I will love this guy forever. So, I’ll just get the tiniest guy”. And he’s 11 years old now.
