I was watching the rugby last night on TV and I am 99% sure diesel was watching the tv with me.
None of my other dogs in the past have bothered with the telly before.
Is this a common thing ?

Or maybe he was just enjoying England getting beat as much as me !!!

I notice my crew watching at times, most assuredly when another dog is on the tube

Interesting question! I was told that if dogs watch tv, its a sign of their lack of intelligence(and by no means does this statement reflect on anyone elses dogs). My boxer never watched tv but my bulldog does. I don't know if that saying is true or not...neither of them were/are unintelligent. Maybe he was just getting into what you were, a good game.

Not really but she does notice when another animal is on the screen and try to attack

Is that the same for humans?? If so I have no hope. Lol

They don't watch avidly, but if there are animals on making strange noises or jumping around, it gets their attention and us usually worth a bark or two. :ROFL:

Ours too. Other than that not too much as of yet. But Ace sure keeps me from watching as much as I would like

Bacon is the same as Ace and Lucy's crew, could care less unless there is a weird sound then it's an explosive awake from snoring heaven to bark at the TV.

Raven will watch things with animals or kids on. I forget what she was watching the other morning while I was running around getting dressed for work, I accidentally stepped into her viewing range and she got up, snorted and reset herself a bit over from where she was previously sitting and started watching tv again.
