Have you ever wished your dogs could talk? Then maybe you should meet this pitbull who can respond with yes or no to its owners questions.

Czr (pronounced Caesar) is a 7-year-old American pit bull terrier who can shake his head yes or no to answer questions.

From the dog's Facebook page: "Czr has been taught how to communicate using yes & no by nodding and shaking his head. We have used classic Learning Theory to help teach him this. He does not do it on command, but instead when he wants something, it is not specific to me & if he wants something he will answer any one's questions that ask (as long as he knows the words)."

Czr's talking ability has made him an internet sensation, with over 46,000 followers on Instagram and over 32,000 likes on Facebook.

Cathy Dmitroca, the dog's owner, hopes that love for Czr will help break misconceptions about pitbulls and the american bully breed. From the TeamCzr YouTube page:

"There is such a misconception about the bully breeds, where many people are genuinely convinced there is something genetically different about them, laws are used to categorize this breed as "undoglike", unstoppable hulk dogs or "devil dogs" as proposed in the media. This of course is illogical and foolish, and in turn attracts more irresponsible owners while many of their impressive and endearing qualities are completely overlooked."

Dmitroca also believes that her is the only dog that responds as Czr does by shaking its head yes or no.

"The way I see it is, you can either choose to think outside the box or you can stick to what is standard;" Dmitroca wrote on YouTube. "Pigeons don't naturally play ping pong but that didn't stop BF Skinner from teaching them."
