trying to get on youtube. well, it worked. daniel s clip receives thousands of hits and has helped him fine tune his skills. but for those who still believe they can do the bus stunt without special effects, daniel has a message. my video is definitely fake. so do not try this at home. it s a lot of computer geekness making something look cool. from a stunt that seems superhuman to a dog that wants to be human. mishka, i love you. the three little words we all long to hear. i love you. but imagine hearing the phrase from your dog. i love you. i love you. good girl. i love you, little doggy. oh, my gosh. it s impossible not to join in. i love you. good girl. i love you. everybody s always wanted to know if their dog loves them back. i would love to have my dog tell me he loves me.
god knows i fed him enough. mishka s owners aren t descendants of dr. doolittle, so how can this dog possibly talk? it s so unbelievable a dog could say i love you. this is the easiest thing to fake. you could probably dub over the animal. all you need is a tape recorder and somebody that has a very dog-like voice. it s just too good to be true. i love you. unbelievably mishka, the siberian husky, can talk. i love you. in february, 2008, after discovering mishka s talent, her owners, matt and melina post the video online. i love you. i love you. astonishingly it racks up more than 16 million hits on youtube. it s cute and it makes you smile and giggle every time you see it. i love you. i love you. animals are just awesome. we just love to see them acting
i love you. good girl. good girl. good job. but i can t help but wonder what is going on in mishka s mind when she says i love you? i love you. i ll put it very simply. what the dog is thinking when the owner is asking them to do something is treat. i love treats. i love treats. coming up look to the sky. it s a bird. it s a plane. it s a kayak? it s just crazy. that must be fake. it gives me so much anxiety watching it. it s obviously not something you see every day. [ sponge ] welcome back to you make a choice.
in ways i don t expect. i love the howling. it s like i m so frustrated! stop making me say this. but they want mishka s voice to be heard. in fact, they post more than 450 videos on youtube chronicling her daily life. i love you. she becomes an internet sensation and a desirable tv show guest. they stop by the today show to speak with ann curry. how did you first make this discovery that mishka could mimic these words in this way? well, she was always really talkative and liked to howl. one time it sounded like i love you. so we said i love you back to her and she started mimicking us. do you think she d talk to us this morning? oh, yeah, i think so. yeah. okay. mishka, i love you. i love you. she doesn t want to stop saying i love you.
good girl. good job. but i can t help but wonder what is going on in mishka s mind when she says i love you? i love you. i ll put it very simply. what the dog is thinking when the owner is asking them to do something is treat. i love treats. i love treats. coming up look to the sky. it s a bird. it s a plane. it s a kayak? it s just crazy. that must be fake. it gives me so much anxiety watching it. it s obviously not something you see every day. ya know, with new fedex one rate
