I meant to ask you guys...do you your dogs watch TV? I mean really watch?

Kobe can spot a real, animated or cartoon animal, (with or without sound), before a human brain can process that one is on the screen.
He watches very intently, cocks his head to follow the action, and will often get up off the couch and walk up to the TV or try to get behind it to see where the animals have gone.

He especially likes reality cop shows. (Like father, like son.)

Anyway, in all my years owning and being around dogs, I've never seen one so absorbed and invested in what he sees on the screen, and being able to recognize the smallest of features on it.

(My wife puts on Paw Patrol for him once in a while, but we have to quickly change the channel as he gets too worked up.)

Not at all. It's like she doesn't see the screen. She will stay in the room with us, but faces us rather than the TV.

Savannah couldn’t care less about the TV. No interest in FaceTime on the phone either.

That’s pretty crazy, mine don’t pay attention.

The only time mine show any interest is when a dog is barking, howling, or yelping, but is very short lived.
 
Most of my dogs couldn't have cared less about the TV, but I've had a couple that watched TV. One of them only cocked her head or made noises at animated stuff, but she could be curled up asleep and if something animated came on she'd jump up and run over in front of the TV and sit down and just watch like a kid with Saturday morning cartoons on.

The other would lay by me and watch and occasionally lift her head and cock it and make little noises if dogs were on TV. But if it was horses on TV she would run to the patio doors and look to see if "her horses" were out there and if not she'd bark and want out. She wouldn't be happy until she ran and put eyes on all 4 of our horses then she'd come back inside and lay back down.

My sister has a cockapoo that never seems to pay attention to the TV ... but she hates the booger man on the Mucinex comercials and goes absolutely crazy barking and running around. She jumps up trying to bite the TV and only stops after the comercial is over or you change the channel.

My blue brindle pit watched tv intently. If an animal was on TV he would walk up and sit down in front of the TV and watch it… closely.
If it was a dog on TV he would stand in front of the TV, tail wagging and watching. If the dog ran off screen to the right, Blue would run to next window right of the TV and wait for the dog to appear. Dog ran offscreen to the left, he’d go left. Clearly he thought the TV was a window.

I’ve had several dogs in my lifetime and none of them ever paid any attention to the TV, but our current dog Millie sits and watches with us all the time. We will sometimes even leave the TV on for her when we leave the house 🤣
This is her watching TV with us…

That is hilarious!!!!!

Millie needs a snack and a beer hahaha
 
Mine don’t care about the images but definitely respond to the sound. They get up and go bark at the door when someone knocks on a door on tv. The weird part is, in their entire life, never once has anyone knocked on my door. And I have had them since they were 9 weeks. But yes they bark at noise made animals, sirens and ect.

Same with the doorbell and I don’t even have a doorbell
 
Our Swiss Shepherd watches TV like a human. If the show or movie gets intense, she will look back at me like "Did you see that?" When a dog or wolf comes on, she is on full alert. If they are after a bad guy, like the malinois in John Wick 3, she will bark and pace as though she is helping them.
