好神的狗！希特勒培訓「狗內閣」秘辛曝光！
不要懷疑，希特勒也是愛狗人士。而且對於狗狗，他還有過許多培訓計畫和異想天開的想法。這些有趣的的秘聞，如今都在蘇格蘭師卡迪夫大學醫學院高級講楊邦德森(Dr Jan Bondeson)的新書中為你揭露。
這本名為《好神的狗：狗內閣趣聞》(Amazing Dogs: A Cabinet of Canine Curiosities)的新書爆料說，愛狗成痴的希特勒相信狗幾乎跟人類一樣聰明。因此希望能夠好好訓練牠們，讓狗狗能夠跟牠們的黨衛軍主人溝通。
邦德森曾親赴柏林採訪，找到了許多相關檔案寫成此書。他也查出當年那家位於漢威附近的狗學校，叫作Tier-Sprechschule ASRA。它於1930年代設立，在二戰期間一直都有在運作。
該所狗學校訓練狗狗們說話，閱讀和拼寫，希特勒並且相信牠們有一天能夠充當集中營的警衛，好騰出更多的士兵上戰場殺敵。
於是，納粹軍官從德國各地找來許多所謂「有教養的狗」，訓練牠們利用自己的「狗腿」表達出所有跟人類溝通的訊號。據說，有些狗狗已經能夠模仿人類的聲音。有一隻甚至厲害到當有人問希特勒是誰時，牠會大聲喊出：「我的元首」(Mein Fuhrer)！另有一隻被訓練成「文青」，牠會寫詩！
不過以上聰明過人的狗狗，都比不上一隻名字叫勞夫（Rolf) 的萬能梗(Airedale terrier，或稱愛爾德梗)。據說，牠會用狗腿敵敲打板子「說話」(一定數目的敲打次數代表某字母)。牠還會思考宗教上的問題、學習外國語、寫詩。甚至曾經有一次還會問一位來訪的高貴女士說：「你會搖尾巴嗎」？這隻「神犬」很愛國，牠甚至表達了參軍的意願。因為牠痛恨法國人！
希特勒本人有兩隻心愛的德國牧羊犬：布朗蒂(Blondi)和貝拉( Bella)。1945年希勒在地下碉堡自殺前，殺害了朗蒂。
