Thật sự ấn tượng

-----

A children’s hospital in Orlando recently recruited candidates for a coveted (thèm thuồng) new position. After rounds of interviews (phỏng vấn), its pick for the job was Parks, a 2-year-old Labrador retriever with a golden coat and floppy ears — who boasts an impressive catalogue of more than 40 commands.

Like many dogs, he knows how to sit, stay and raise his paw on command. But what impressed  (ấn tượng) hospital workers were Parks’s advanced skills, including pushing objects, turning light switches on and off with his snout, pulling ropes to hold drawers and doors open, retrieving items (lấy đồ vật), and assisting with laundry by tugging the hamper to the washing machine.

He can also play cards (using his mouth) as directed by his handler. He doesn’t know which cards to play on his own, but he has the dexterity  (khéo léo) to gingerly take a single playing card from someone’s hand and give it to the other player. Parks also barks on command and offers tactile stimulation, like lying across a child’s body when told to do so.
