The wonderful four-legged student already knows 29 words and is learning to ‘speak in sentences,’ reports People. Stella can now tell its human when it’s hungry, sleepy, or wants a belly rub. It can even say ‘love you.’

In her post describing the video, Christina wrote, “Stella uses language differently when she’s in a heightened state versus when she’s calm.” According to the post, Stella pressed the buzzer for the word “look” nine times and followed it by “come outside” after it heard noises outside.
