Boone was the 5th puppy I raised for Leader Dogs For The Blind. He would always watch TV. It did not surprise me when he was "career changed" because he was "easily distracted". Usually the puppies pay no attention at all to TV.
Boone had a problem with knowing if he was seeing reality or not. One day he was watching Martha Stewart. That day she had a whole bunch of cats and dogs on the show -- all on a table. Boone eyed up the terrier pup and watched him go back and forth on the table. Pretty soon that terrier pup jumped off the table and out of sight on the left side of the screen.
Boone started wagging his tail quickly, and ran up to the left side of the TV --- to go see that terrier pup. He could not figure out where he went! He was so ready to play. We had a good laugh.
Another time he was watching the news. They were showing a mountain lion treed in someones back yard. I had never heard him growl at any time before, but when he saw that mountain lion, he knew instinctively it was not a good thing and growled viciously -- all the while backing up. .....animal behavior is so interesting.

Learning from our pets is so wonderful and all we need to give them in exchange is our time!...:)JP
Thanks for all the comments everyone.....I love comments! :-)
Well, you can't say he wasn't observant! What a great family dog he must be. Good boy!
What a handsome dog. Looks so much like my own yellow Lab. Sadly I lost him a year ago to illness. He was a TV watcher too.
All animals have their own personality...always fun to watch.
