Sleeper, my Old English, knew walk and w a l k, ditto bath and several other words. Walk had him at the door immediately. Bath had him under the bed with no way to get him out. If the Porsche was mentioned, he'd jump in the car before the second syllable (the joys of a T-top that was always off). Ditto Fiat. If you said "ride", he would try to herd you to the Fiat but would happily get in whatever car you chose, even the Acura. Definitely a dog that was too smart for his britches.
