Last week we were at the consignment auction and somebody had consigned a full size buffalo statue, which was probably used in front of a steak house or something for advertising. As Rowdy and I approached the statue, I wondered why he hadn't noticed it, so I pretended to make low barking noises and focused my attention at it, to alert his attention to it. It didn't work and we walked up within 3 feet of it and stood there for a few seconds.
All the sudden Rowdy low barked and took off to the end of the 25 foot retractable leash with a strip of hair standing up on his back. He had finally looked up and noticed the buffalo! He didn't want to come close to it and proceeded to make a large circle half way around it, till I pulled him back up to it. Though we were away from the crowd at that moment, a few others along with myself got a little laugh out of it. Silly dog!
