“Further, the person didn’t even have to point, they could simply look. More remarkable, they didn’t even have to linger with the look. They could just flash their eyes for a split second at the bucket with the treat, and the puppy would go unerringly to it.”

My dog does this. She can know where to go or where something is by my eyes or fingers
I just thought it was something animals did...should have known cats aren’t going to cooperate

I used to have a wonderful female Golden Retriever named “Ruby”.

That dog LOVED water. We had a pool, and she knew she was not allowed in the pool without permission, so she would lay down at the edge with her two front paws hanging over the edge, put her head down on her paws and just look at you.

Those expressive Golden Retriever dark, almond shaped eyes, and the accompanying twitching of the eyebrows above them.

She would lay there for long stretches and just gaze at you. You quietly could say, at any time “Go ahead.” and she would be in the water before you could blink your eyes. Other times, you could point, and in she would go!
