Summary Beau has achieved a degree of celebrity for his counting skills.
Labrador Retrievers are known for their hunting skills and friendly dispositions, but Beau, a black Lab who lives in Montana, is winning acclaim for his math abilities.Owner David Madsen says if he tells Beau there are six dogs at the park and three dogs leave, and then asks him how many are left, the dog replies: Woof, woof, woof.“He counts, he adds and subtracts, he can do some division and has memorized square roots,” Madsen said.Although a dog with math skills better than plenty of humans seems incredible, the local fire chief says he vouches for the dogs talents.
