"Dogs Think Similarly to Young Children and Can Learn Words, Counting Skills and More. According to Coren, who has written more than a dozen books on understanding dogs, recent studies have confirmed that the animals have a higher cognitive capacity than scientists had thought. They are able to learn the meaning an average of 165 words, including hand signals; the record for most words learned tops 200. Coren said that dogs are also capable of performing basic arithmetic that involves counting up to four or five, and that they have been shown to intentionally deceive humans or other dogs."

"It springs automatically from the spiritual platform, and as such anyone can take part in this transcendental sound vibration without any previous qualification and dance in ecstasy. We have seen it practically'97even a child can take part in the chanting, or even a dog can take part in it."From the talk Srila Prabhupada gave at the recording session in New York City of what became "The Happening Album" and which was later published in a pamphlet called "On Chanting."

Its like saying "I can preach to mayavadis because Shriman Mahaprabhu did" --- you will become pukka mayavadin yourself. False claim.user [343] · 2010-02-22
Good idea maah! go and try giving the Lions and Tigers in your local zoo some direct in the cage association, who knows they may go back to godhead!I was on an Iskcon farm once, there was a dog called Sri Ram, he used to pay his dandavats to all the devotees (back legs up and front legs flat on the ground along with the head, he only ate Krishna prasadam and a little road kill. He was so kool!

we are supposed to be equal to a brahmana, cow, elephant, dog or dog eater. Hare Krishna.
