The dog can be seen following the movement of the birds' flight through the air with her eyes. Mookie is very focused and listening intently to the birds' calls. Laura then focuses on the sky. The birds are indeed migrating south. In the video caption, her owner wrote: "I can't believe I filmed this"
An annual migration
Every year, millions of birds migrate south to escape the dropping temperatures. Many users praised the way Laura turned this moment into a gentle learning experience for her dog. Indeed, as she told Mookie, "This is what's called migration".
Some internet users exclaimed: "That teacher gene runs deep in you. I love it!" Another user wrote: "Watching dogs observe the world is one of my favourite activities" Laura explained in the comments that she loves talking to Mookie as if she were her child: "I literally talk to her as if she were my daughter. I can't help explaining everything to her." We completely understand: we do the same thing with our dogs!
