Why are dogs so obsessed with squirrels?
Dogs are known for their strong sense of smell, and this plays a big role in their squirrel-watching habits. Squirrels are constantly leaving behind scent trails as they move around their territory, and dogs can pick up on these faint traces of scent. This is why dogs will often stare intently at a tree or bushes – they are trying to follow the scent trail and figure out where the squirrel went. In addition, dogs are attracted to the movement of squirrels. These furry creatures dart around quickly, and their sudden movements triggering a hunting instinct in dogs. As a result, it’s not surprising that dogs are so fascinated by squirrels – they are simply following their natural instincts.
