'I teach rather than train as this makes the dog use his mind and intelligence rather than just his body", he said. Speaking - about London, star of the Littlest Hobo, he says that the dog has a words and understands French and German as well as English. He demonstrated to the Star that the dog actually knows and sees colours. To do - this he instructed the dog to point to something green. At his command, London walked over to a white post with a green top and put his nose on the green paint. The film Double Vision is a story about the Mayor of a small town who is disliked by everyone, but is coming up for re-election when his twin brother arrives in town. A young reporter mistakes the brother for the mayor and begins an interview with him and is pleased to find he is very pleasant.
