Bio: Sweetie came into my life at 7 weeks of age. From the day she arrived, she showed me how clever, smart and affectionate she was. I connected with her so intensely, I felt like I had always known her. She learned so fast that I ran out of dog tricks to teach her. Little did I know what was to come.
Sweetie learned so fast, I decided to see if she could identify her toys for me. While sitting on the floor, with several toys between us, I asked Sweetie to show me one specific toy. She walked up and put her paw on that exact toy! When 13 toys were laid out in front of her, Sweetie was able to correctly identify them all. I did not teach her to use her paws; she figured that out on her own.
I soon discovered that Sweetie could differentiate between one, two, three, four and five buttons. The FIRST time she saw the groups of buttons, she could identify the pile with the number of buttons I asked for.
PHOTO OF SWEETIE POINTING -I decided to find out what else she knew. I took small, colorful letters, and placed several in front of her. Sure enough, Sweetie could identify all twenty six. All on her own, first time she saw them. I was amazed! I soon discovered that she could sequence letters in order from A to Z, and from Z to A!
Numbers are great fun for Sweetie. She knows them in order. She can add, subtract, multiply, and read and answer simple flashcards. Playing cards are easy for Sweetie. She knows all 52, as well as hearts, spades, diamonds and clubs.
How many young children can differentiate between B A R E and B E A R? Sweetie can. She will spell out BEAR, the animal, or BARE, like naked, when the four letters are in front of her. In fact, she will continue to spell different words from those four letters, or any other four letters. At times, she will spell words I didn't think of. Sweetie can read words and identify them.
PHOTO OF SWEETIE POINTING TO A COLOR Think dogs are colorblind? Not Sweetie. She can identify many colors. How about clock faces? No problem. Shapes? Oval vs. circle, square vs. rectangle-she'll point out what you ask for.
When your doggie tells you she loves you, it means so much more when she is actually saying the words. Sweetie says, "I Love You' (just look on the video page!). I know she understands what those words mean. There is a special place in her heart for children.
Sweetie has appeared on many national and local television shows, and had articles written about her in print. She has done many live performances, wowing her audiences. Put up the lights, focus the camera, and watch her come alive!

I hope you all enjoyed my performance. Do your humans now know how smart we are? I got a perfect score of 30 points!
I did not have to send an audition tape to get on Pet Star. The producers saw me on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" before Per Star was ready to go on the air. They called me and asked me to be on the show.
My segment was taped without stopping from beginning to end. I did more than what you saw. My human mixed up the order of the letters and I got them all correct. The show cut out that segment because my "set" was too long. Many of the other acts were edited.
While my human woke up early to watch, I slept through the show. Sleep is jut too important to get up early to watch myself do what I do every day!
In case you missed me on the show, you can see more videos of me doing incredible things on my website: www.SweetietheSmartestDog.com. I have 9 videos on Youtube.
I can't wait until tomorrow! If you watch, you will hear about how I told my humans about who my soul belongs to. You know how many humans say they want to come back as their own dog? I did and, it is an absolutely true story!
Sweetie the Smartest Dog will appear on Pet Star on August 31st! She is billed as "Sweetie the Reading Dog." Check you local listings. Pet Star is on Animal Planet.
Sweetie was honored to be a "Most Eligible Pet" in Animal Fair Magazine.
Sweetie can read, spell, count, and talk. She can identify people in pictures, clock faces, colors shapes, number of buttons in piles, and many other things. She knows the alphabet forward and backward. She can talk too! She says "I Love You," in a unique way--she thrusts out her tongue to make the "L" sound in "Love."
Her performance on Pet Star was continuous from beginning to end on Pet Star without stopping. The show edited out a segment where I rearranged the order of the letters ONLY to shorten the segment. Sweetie got them all right though.
Turn up the volume so you can hear her say "I Love You" at the end of her performance.
This is a good opportunity to show what Sweetie can do in front of a live audience and three judges who were carefully watching everything. You can see more of what Sweetie can do by visiting the video page of her website at www.sweetiethesmartestdog.com. Make sure you see Sweetie's Youtube videos.
