You can enter any simple arithmetic problem using add, subtract, multiply or divide operations and Bluedog will happily begin to bark away. I must however warn you that if you give Bluedog a problem like 65 X 85 then be prepared kids - think a dog can't count? Well wait until you see what this dog can do. Bluedog can count and, in fact, Bluedog can solve arithmetic problems that you enter and then "bark" out the correct answer! That's right! You can enter something like 2 + 3 andund it to be hilarious. No, it's not really educational - but even a kid needs a break while surfing.
