“Shaun (of the Dead”) claims dogs can’t look up. I say, mine can. So there!
Heck, both the lab and the mini-dachshund (especially the mini-d) will sit patiently at my feet looking up at me as I stand at the kitchen counter making a nice fat sandwich on a Saturday afternoon.
Just asking which direction you were coming from... so there? ;-)
I’ve heard that in relation to guard dogs. If you get up over their heads and stay quiet and inconspicuous they may not notice you.
