'Today Show' dog can read!

This morning’s Today Show produced one of the weirder a.m. television moments in recent memory with a segment called “Sit, Stay, Read.” Crowded into a makeshift doggie park complete with astroturf lawn and prop fire hydrants, the fab four—Matt, Al, and Meredith, and Ann—were agog as a dog trainer showed how a pup named Willow can (kinda) read and understand signs that tell her to do basic tricks (check out the clip, below). Never mind that she got one wrong and couldn’t really handle it when Ann tried holding the sign. This dog is a scholar!

The next obvious question is, what did Willow think of The Lost Symbol? Kind of a letdown, right?

      She first rolled over and played dead when she saw the sign, “Wave.” When she didn’t get a reaction, she moved on and tried the paw-lift.

    Dumb-dumb Ann was holding up the card to the trainer/owner and then to the camera. How was the dog supposed to read it?? I watched it on TV this morning and don’t recall the dog getting it wrong.
    The dog looks like a Corgi-mix.

    On Today, Ot. 29 the Chef Samuelson went from touching raw meat to the cooked meat, withour washing his hands. That is a definite health no-no
