Meet Chanda-Leah.

If your dog sits on command and knows his name you might think your dog is pretty smart. Then again you probably haven't met Chanda-Leah, an eleven-year-old poodle from Canada. Chanda knows how to sit and fetch and about a thousand other tricks. Chanda holds the Guinnes World Record for the most tricks performed by a dog, thanks to her trainer and mum, Sharon Robinson.

There has never been a dog, either past or present, that has ever been responding to over a thousand hand and verbal commands. Chanda can add, substract, multiply and knows the days of the week, the months of the year, the alphabet.
Sharon doesn't have to worry about checking and sorting the mail, Chanda does it for her. Good girl, now go get the letter addressed to mommie. What a good girl. Chanda even knows what to do with junk mail. Now that's just junk mail chanda, what do you do with that? That's a good girl Chanda.
