Maya
5 years ago, I used to live by a massive park, and I'd walk Maya every single day after school.
She was around 5 or 6 years old at this time, and had so much energy she would be impossible to contain. She was a Yorkie, mixed with something I have no idea what, because she was way bigger than a normal one.
The park had tons of birds that would sit around on the grass, and Maya learnt this phrase "Where are the birds?" in Lithuanian. Every time she'd hear it, she would stop completely, look over at me and wait for me to point over towards the birds. She would then start sprinting max speed towards the birds, barking and scaring them off. It didn't have to be birds exactly, but it worked better when there was something for her to chase after xd.
She remembered this phrase her whole life, and even when she got older she would still stop, wait, then run like hell to wherever you pointed. She would run back afterwards all happy n shit wagging her tail like she accomplished her task of being a nuisance. She was proud of it, and it made me happy.
