My dog is a spaniel, son of a hunting trials champion, and when he stops and stares I am in no doubt that he is smelling, not hearing. But Will, well look at those ears, like radar receiving dishes, he his definitely listening. But to an angel ? I'm not so sure ! !
@laroque LOL! Well, he wasn't listening to me and it was silent. Nothing in his line of sight but the air. Perhaps he was daydreaming, but look at the strange reflection in his left eye. =)
I also look at them when they're seemingly gazing faraway into the world, and wish I knew what was going through their minds. Also when they dream, with those yelping sounds; what do they dream about?
Terrific portrait of your dog. You've captured the spirit of his thinking phase so well. Lovely animal, he's beautiful. I love the black banding around the ears!

@ludwigsdiana Thank you so much, Diana.
@kjarn Very true!
@monikozi Thank you, Monica.
@cocokinetic Thank you, Karen. When Will dreams, I imagine he's chasing something since he's never been chased by anything. =)
@wh2021 Thank you!
@dkellogg Thank you, David. He amazes me sometimes. His squeaky toys with a face - he treats like they're alive and won't chew them to pieces.
@talmon Thank you, Jan.
@365jgh Thank you, Judy.
@rensala Thank you, Renee. Yes, it was a shock but Will is my top guy. =)
