My sister tells him "Joel, you kinda give it away when you keep staring where you hid it" lol |
I know! I've watched dogs outside dig holes, hide their bones & then worry, go dig them up, re-hide them in a new hole. In confined spaces such as a yard or home, they clearly know their so-called "hiding space" is quite compromised by the proximity of other dogs in the home or neighborhood. Clearly, when they can't run far away from other dog/predator scents to hide their prize - or their puppies or toys or whatever - they sense their treasure could be compromised at any moment.
