Reminds me so much of Dante, the now 9 years old Lab mix. He likes to gaze at birds. Our first dog, Snoopy a Sprocker Spaniel (a truly gorgeous black and white sports Spaniel) loved chasing butterflies, when he was a puppy he’d chase the shadows and pounce on them as if trying to catch them. He also would “hunt” birds and jump like a spring to greet you. The rest of the time he would go “British”: sit outside in the shadow exactly like one of those old marvel lion statues and move only his head to gaze and get back in pose. Quite a “gentleman’s dog”.
