For those of you who have Mals now, does yours talk? I remember our neighbor had one when I was a kid. He would do this growling/talking thing to people he liked. It used to freak out my friends. I would take them over to meet the dog and he would 'talk' to them. They swore it was a giant wolf about to devour them. Just wondering if that is a typical Mal trait or just some quirky dog that lived next door
