Rowdy barks at himself in the mirror when it goes all the way down to the floor so when he runs back and forth in front of it - he sees himself running and he barks. He doesn't bark though, when I hold him up in front of the mirror. We don't have a mirror at our house that goes all the way to the floor, the only one his has ever seen is at my aunt's house so that's the only time he has barked at himself. You are right, it is pretty funny!!!
