520 8 _aWhen speech-language pathologist Christina Hunger first came home with her puppy, Stella, it didn't take long for her to start drawing connections between her job and her new pet. During the day, she worked with toddlers with significant delays in language development and used Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices to help them communicate. So if dogs can understand words we say to them, shouldn't they be able to say words to us? Christina decided to put her theory to the test with Stella and started using a button programmed with her voice to say the word 'outside' when clicked, whenever she took Stella out of the house. Stella now has a bank of more than 30 word buttons, and uses them daily either individually or together to create near-complete sentences. This part memoir and part how-to guide chronicles the journey Christina and Stella have taken together.
