“First, there is a Mountain.
Then, there is no Mountain,
Then, there is!”

Dogs use facial expressions, eyes and body language for cues into humans. They notice more than we realize. If you get up and walk past the dog, stop, turn around and stare into his eyes for a momrnt, then begin walking, he will follow you. When my dog wants me to feed her, She will stare at me until I respond.
Dogs use eyes for a lot of communication.
