Is my #dog trying to #talk? Can your dog talk?

I can talk.  You just don't understand. 

     At age two, is Gizmo trying to talk?  When we awaken and he wants to go out, he is making noises that sound close to what a two-year-old human might speak.  Repeats somewhat similar sounds when he wants to eat and it is time to go to bed.  

     Are there other dogs who attempt human language?  Does your dog do that?
