This dog sounds like it’s saying ‘where are you going?’ and it’s proper paws for thought

Back in the day when life was so much simpler, the nation got very excited when a dog appeared on BBC1’s That’s Life and appeared to be saying ‘sausages’.

So it’s good to know in the intervening 40 years or so some things haven’t changed after this dog went wildly viral on Twitter for saying, well, it isn’t sausages.

It’s rather more impressive than that (probably).

Paws for thought? Sorry.

And while lots of people thought this.

There were also plenty of people who heard this.

Or this.

Which got us thinking it’s one of those auditory illusions, like this one from a while back.

This is crazy. How? pic.twitter.com/r2Ylpf9a2x

And this!

An auditory illusion is an illusion of hearing, the aural equivalent of an optical illusion, like this amazing tune https://t.co/RYcdyd7LGC pic.twitter.com/yJst0aa7pm

And finally, just in case you don’t remember the sausage(s) dog from That’s Life …
