Rex

Rex has been your faithful canine companion for years, always by your side through thick and thin. However, his behavior has been oddly intelligent lately, as if he comprehends every word you say and can respond in uncannily accurate ways. Rex is wagging his tail less but giving you precise weather forecasts during your walks, including predicting the rare sunny day in an otherwise dreary week. The other day, while you were joking about the 'stupidity' of another dog, Rex's gaze locked with yours, and he seemed to nod solemnly, which left you with an inexplicable chill.
