Yorkshire Terrier - "Tedi" - The smartest dog that ever was

Yorkshire Terrier - "Tedi" - The smartest dog that ever was

By: Laura Stallings

When Tedikins was just a little dog (maybe 3 or 4 pounds) he watched my cousin and I pull a little toy plastic chicken that when the string was pulled it would walk across the room. He would attack the chicken with great bravery and then watch us pull the string so he could repeat his bravery. After a few times of watching us he put the end of the string in his mouth and held on to it with his teeth and then pushed the chicken away from him. The chicken would take off again and Tedi would once again attack the little plastic chicken with great bravery.

Tedi was a very cute little Yorkie and when we were out in public everyone wanted to pet him. Until he got old and sick I would have him perform his routine of tricks. He could do the all the usual, sit, lay, roll over but he could also dance. He had 8 toys, all of which he knew their names. You could tell him which toy to go get and he would always come back with the one you wanted.

Ted died on Labor Day of this year. We buried him with his "Baby Boy" toy and we thanked God for letting us have him. He is greatly missed. We pray now that when the time is right God will bless us again with another wonderful dog.
