Dog 'taught to communicate by owners' asks Amazon Alexa for sweet request

We all know that dogs can't talk, even though we wish we could communicate with our furry friends and hear their innermost thoughts and feelings. Despite this, they can find other ways to 'speak' to us through body language, and sometimes even barks.

Jude, however, is a 'talking' Beagle thanks to his owner Michelle Marotta, and he has a whole system that he's been taught how to communicate through, meaning the pooch can ask for certain things, such as letting his owners know when he's hungry and wants to be fed. However, when his owners were out, he asked the family's Amazon Alexa for something sweet because he wanted to relax and have time to chill out.

His owner explained in the caption of his video that it was one of his "new buttons," and he loved using it.

When Jude trotted over to his buttons, the machine exclaimed, "Alexa, play Jude's music." His owner explained that sometimes things don't go according to plan, however, and Alexa mishears what it says.

In the caption, Michelle wrote: "Jude has a few new buttons... this is one of them. He presses it often. He especially seems to like listening to music to relax.

"I have a playlist set up for Jude called 'Jude's Music' - a mix of Disney and Pixar songs, acoustic folky covers of various songs, some Beatles songs (Hey Jude, of course! ), and other easy listening genres.

"I add to it regularly. Sometimes Alexa correctly plays his playlist, and other times she hears 'Play Juice Music' which has been a nice alternative that we both enjoy".

Incredibly, Jude has mastered an impressive 86 words thanks to the Fluent Pet system, who are "on a quest to realise the potential of cats, dogs, and other animals through the use of sound buttons".

Viewers were utterly charmed by Jude's reaction to the music, describing the sight of the Beagle settling down for a chill as "heartwarming".

One person commented: "Aw I like how he settles himself down for a relax!"

Another chimed in: "Like he just got off work after a hard day and needs to decompress!"

While a third said: "This is just so awesome, enlightening, comforting and brilliant! Jude is one smart cookie!!" gushed a dog enthusiast.

Someone else joked: "If my dog were able to have a button to play certain music dog would not have calm music.

The band Juice, also known as "Juice Music", even weighed in on the video, stating: "SOLID song choice Jude! Full approval from us".
