🇬🇧🇪🇸 pooch - perro : English Lesson

Meaning of "pooch" ("perro"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.

A pooch is a friendly word for a dog. It can be any kind of dog—big or small, fluffy or short-haired. People often say “pooch” when they’re talking about a pet dog they love, like a furry buddy who wags its tail, plays fetch, and likes belly rubs.

Our pooch is on a strict diet, but he still stares at my sandwich like it’s the meaning of life.

I asked my pooch, “Who’s a good boy?” and he looked around like, “Yes, let’s find this good boy you speak of.”

The pooch watched me eat carrots, tried one, and made the exact same face I do at broccoli.

At bath time, the pooch suddenly remembered he had “important business” under the couch.

Every pooch has a unique nose print, like a fingerprint—so my pooch’s cold, snoopy nose is one of a kind!

The small pooch sat on the doorstep, muddy paws and hopeful eyes. Each time the bell rang, the pooch leapt forward and the neighbor's pooch barked back. Children tossed a stick; the pooch chased, skidded, and brought it into a warm lap. The tired pooch curled up and the house filled with soft, happy snores.
