There’s something about animals that can brighten your day instantly. If you have a dog or cat at home, you know all about that. When they look at you, your heart melts a little bit, sometimes, a lot.

That’s true no matter what kind of pet you have. But dogs especially have a way of making you smile. And the breed doesn’t matter.

German shepherds are super smart

One of the most popular dog breeds is the German Shepherd. These dogs aren’t just cute. They’re also some of the smartest pups around. Along with being loving and protective, they always find a way to tell you what they want.

They’re great communicators

German shepherds have a unique way of communicating with humans. Okay, so they don’t use our same language but they still get their point across just fine. When it comes to food, they’re even better.

Feed me now

In particular, they’re super vocal about food. If we could understand them, we’d have no problem hearing “Feed me.” But German Shepherds have a way of making it abundantly clear when they’re ready to eat. They’ll do whatever it takes to convince their owner to fill their bowl.

He tries hard to get his dad to feed him

One day in 2015, Apollo’s owner took a video of him trying so hard to get fed. Seeing him sit on the floor while looking up at the camera and with his empty bowl at his feet is beyond pathetic.
