My dog goes absolutely apeshit when there is a non-human creature on TV. At first I thought he was just barking at dogs on the TV. Then it was any kind of animal. Then he started identifying and barking at any non-human. I mean like... I couldnt watch Lord of the Rings because he would bark at dwarves, elves, and Orcs. It's fucking insane. And it's not just live action stuff. The animated mucinex blob guy? Bark fest. Bluey the animated dog that walks upright on 2 legs? Bark fest. I used to love watching nature documentaries, and movies with aliens... I can't anymore, because my dog thinks that these creatures teleported into our living room and he needs to alert us to save our lives. And it's not like he would even stand a chance in any kind of face-off with these things. He's a 25lb mini labradoodle. The other day I was watching True Detective and there was a polar bear on the screen and he charged at the TV growling and barking and I'm like "Hey bud... That thing would devour the shit out of you. You would be a tasty little morsel for a polar bear. Know your size"
Sigh...
But I love him. He's the bestest boy.
