I knew a corgi once. He was scary smart. His humans didn't want him to sleep on their leather couch so they put little squares of paper in the center of each cushion so they could tell if he was on the couch when they weren't around. One day they came home and found the dog pushing one of those little squares of paper back to the center of a cushion with his nose.
