He knows it’s you, using his other senses, but also realize something is off. few weeks later, a humorous anecdote. The master was attacked by an alligator and the dog thought it was a joke and ignored it. RIP. Aww…oh my goodness… sweet sweet precious boy! He’s trying so hard with all of his might to remain calm and collected but with good reason freaking out at the same time… this is a messed up joke! He looked really frightened and confused. His heart was probably racing and pounding hard. I mean. Some people will call me a debbie downer but I think this is a really mean prank to pull on your doggie! :c This is exactly the same reaction when you scare your children with a mask. They know it’s you and your playing a game, but the mask is scary to them. after a short time they want to investigate the mask but are still scared of it, and never do get used to it. Dogs really are wonderful family members. Aww 🥰 poor thing. He went through such a pain and anxiety. He knew he is his owner by the sense of smell and was so confuse.
