Parlez-vous français?

You may not speak French, but let me tell you who does...this wiener dog.

I don't know why that is so hard for me to grasp. The dog does not respond to "come, sit, or stay" but rather "viens, assis, et reste." This was all a very Water for Elephants experience for me and it got me thinking, should I teach my future dog to be puppy bi-lingual??  

p.s. The wiener dog in this picture was sashay-ing around la maison de l'etudiant where I study and I thought he might be homeless because he was sans collar, but then his owner came and scooped him up into his man-purse. C'est dommage pour moi because I reallllly wanted to take him home :)
