Our Labrador Retriever barks wildy at other dogs
on TV.  She's our fourth Lab, but the only one to
do so...It's not just a response to the TV dog
barking, because just a "visible" dog is all that's
necessary to elicit this response.  Other than this
behavior, I'd hesitate to say she's particularly
bright.  (Au contraire...)  No response to photo-
graphs.  Guess they have to be moving to be "alive" -
a bit like the "animism" of toddlers??

>Any other reports of TV-watching dogs (with breed
> reported)?
