Mister Brown The Rhodesian Ridgeback; "Tell his to speak clearly.", says the dog

I'm nearly 60, 5'2", 55kg so Mister Brown was well chuffed to have my big son return from O/S and be his wrestle buddy, but the boy'd been away a long time and his silent signals were sloppy, his "Let" looks like "Speak" so "Speak" WITHOUT "Let"ing go, the dog did. Good Dog. Silly Human. Oh and that defensive backing off; the dog taught himself to use a knotted towel like a mace and had great aim!
