Incredible hearing! You might find this hard to believe, but I have tested this again and again!
My Zena can hear me putting on my socks and comes running to play!
When she was a puppy I used to play with her in my stocking feet, they were soft white athletic sox and I would wrestle with her with my feet before putting on my shoes. She just loved it. This has been going on for almost a year now. I noticed a month or so ago that she comes running into my room almost everytime I'm putting on my socks. How does she know I am putting them on? Obviously she can hear me putting them on, even from our front room! Before I can get the first sock on she runs into the room ready to wrestle with my feet. Amazing!
I've tried to be quiet, slipping the socks on rather slowly but she still comes running in. I've had the TV and radio on and she still comes running in before I get the first sock on! It is truly amazing that she can hear such a subltle sound from so far away and to recognize it for what it is. The DW did not believe me until I demonstrated it for her one day. Anyone else notice how good their dog's hearing really is?
