Dixetti Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Hi all, This is my first real post but it is something that has amused me for a while with my new rescue dog Dusty. Every time the AAMI ad with the swans and the song "A little bird" comes she will get up from wherever she is (an indoor dog), even if she's asleep and dive through the dog door to the back yard - looking for, well, who knows what she's looking for. It's not a problem behaviour - just a very funny one. She doesn't do it with anything else, just that ad. Anyone else's dog love that ad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilmisssascha83 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 LOL that's so cute. Nah my Sasha doesn't do that. Although sometimes when we watch something and puppies are on the screen making puppy noises she looks for a while. I don't know if its because she wants to make sure everyone is ok. I have noticed at dog school if a puppy yelps or makes puppy sounds, she always wants to make sure they are ok LOL and for a while whenever we watched the zoo and it had meerkats, she was just fasinated by it but nothing like this. So cute how your pup recognises the song and wants to have a look LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedazzledx2 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I'm a bit embarrased to admit it but....my BC Cody (RIP) used to alert to the theme music to the Bold and the Beautiful!!!! I blame my mum for that! He would also react to any animal shows. He would run around looking to the back and sides of the TV to see if they would come out!

monique.c Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 My dog loves watching any tv shows with animals, or the football. He will get up and run to the tv and just stand in front of it and watch. When the horse racing is on the news he looks around the back of the tv to see where all the horses went after they run off the side of the screen. I think it's pretty cute.

Atanquin Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Zorro watches tv some times and if a dog on tv starts barking he will start to and trot around looking for it. It's just sooooooo cute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttaburra Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 That is so funny. I think dogs react to certain sound. Maxi used to go all funny when the Mighty Mite (vegimite clone) advert was on the radio, it had all sorts of squeaky sounds on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkhe Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 my dog Maggie will jump up and bark any time there's a dog or animal on TV, and if there are puppies or small dogs crying etc she will try and find them behind/under the tv. So CUTE :D The best thing though, I was watching something with my housemates last night and Maggie was sleeping, then this sex scene came on and Maggie JUMPED up and started barking and jumping up on the TV.

grizabella Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Bella tends to stare intently at the television if there are dogs running on, she doesn't seem so interested if they're not moving much. The thing that usually gets her attention is the RSPCA ad with all the animals walking across the screen. Last week she stared at the TV while there were Salukis on, not looking away, but lost interest as soon as another breed was featured. I think she may be a bit breed-ist!

Fatsofatsoman Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Tennis - it's amazing he'll watch the whole rally as soon as it's finished he'll look away - as soon as the next serve is about to happen - his full attention again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Crazy Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) Sonny has always been a TV watcher. He loves all the animal ad's / shows, horse races, footy,tennis, anything that is moving really. It's so funny He races up to the tele barking ( too bad if we just happened to be trying to watch something ). He used to go around the back of the TV & even go outside looking for the action when he was younger,now he just returns to his beanbag LOL. What really is quite weird though is if I am watching the CI channel or the news comes on & there is a "baddy" he goes off his head, growling, barking & his hackles up with his face about 2 inches off the screen. Soon as an ad comes on he returns to his beanbag again & continues watching. Our lounge room is a very funny place to be Edited October 4, 2011 by BC Crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snippet Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Our first greyhound used to try and race the dogs into the corner of the tele if we put dog racing on, and no he had never raced a day in his life. He also got extremely excited by barking dogs on there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bundyburger Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Animal shows get most attention. Particularly cats or barking dogs. Tennis entertains the ball mad kelpie. I always end up laughing at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
