I am curious to know how the dog knew he was in the casket. He had to have been embalmed.
That is such a beautiful picture.
I wonder that too, because I’ve seen this before. Maybe the clothing or other possessions placed inside? Or it’s possible the embalming fluid doesn’t completely cover the spectrum of odor that dogs can distinguish. (like when smugglers try to cover up the smell of drugs from drug-sniffing dogs - doesn’t fool the dogs)
