Exactly, I've never seen the 4th panel happen.
Only in the aftermath of a recent betrayal like being taken on a nice car ride that includes a visit to the vet. Might be a little suspicious of excitement for a day or two.
My dog likes the vet. Great smells and treats!
It does sometimes, but usually only for a moment as they just kinda go with it.
My dog immediately sprints over to the treat drawer because they understand my excitement to be their own, and they’re solely excited by treats. Which is sweet, in a way. That they see us as a singular being with identical desires. Can’t really blame a dog for solipsism, after all.
Similarly, if I even breathe in deeply, it's taken as a sign that I'm preparing to go for a walk, and therefore it's party time.
