Who is that dog I see
Staring straight
Back at me?
Why is my reflection someone
I don’t know?
(Adapted from Mulan)
Does your dog match their reflection? Or do they think they’re a cat/small dog/big dog etc. We joke that Mr. N thinks he’s a big black dog like the Giant Schnauzer that taught him to be a dog and helped “raise” him at his foster home.

You are just so cute. We don't seem to notice our reflection in mirrors or other places.

Mr. N loves peering down at water. Narcissus syndrome?

Adorable picture! I'm not sure how Ruby sees herself. Our previous dog Pip thought he was a cat, I think.

Mr. N may have some cat as well.

Great photo! We had one sweet pup – Kiki – who did not understand water. She must have thought it was solid….every time she was on a boat or a deck she'd walk right off of it into water like there was no difference. We had to watch her like a hawk, silly love-bug girl!

Mr. N walked off a dock once because there was a bunch of driftwood and thought it was solid. He's never done that again!

I could see Mr. N as a big black dog! 🙂 I bet our terrier sees himself as something much bigger too.

Terriers tends to do that.

What a beautiful photo!

Thanks.

Mine definitely think they are big dogs!

Sorry for the earworm!

I'm pretty sure I'm little, because I walk under things so easily. My bark says otherwise. I don't use it a lot, but when I bust it out, my bark sounds like a 95 pound German Shepherd. Mom says I am the tiniest watch dog ever.
Love and licks,

Haha. It's funny when small dogs have deep barks. Mr. N's isn't shrill but it's higher pitched for sure.

Neither of the boys pay attention to their reflection in the mirror but Pierre will sometimes catch his window reflection and bark at it.
May 20, 2016 10:45 pm
Same for Ted. He seems to notice his window reflection, but not the mirror. He doesn't seem to notice himself on webcam either.

So cute…but now I have the Mulan song stuck in my head! Most of my pets don't acknowledge their reflections but our newest addition, a now 9 month old puppy, seems to enjoy staring at his reflection in the mirror.

Love the photo! He is adorable and maybe he knows it 🙂 I have a little chihuahua that would NOT recognize herself. She believes she is a giant Great Dane! We haven't told her she is only 7 lbs lol!

Water, water on the creek,
Who's that doggy?
Let's take a peek
May 21, 2016 7:03 pm
I am sure Kilo thinks he is a big black dog too LOL.
May 21, 2016 7:15 pm
Our beagle Cricket definitely doesn't know she's a small dog! She was raised with two golden retrievers only two months younger, and I don't think she ever realized when they got so much bigger than her! 🙂

He is just adorable and Layla is jealous that you go to all these wonderful places
May 21, 2016 10:43 pm
Cute photo! I know for a fact that Jax thinks he's Harley's side and vice versa! That's how they act too!
May 21, 2016 10:54 pm
I love this photo – I think the doxies think their reflections looks like Lions!
May 22, 2016 9:47 am
Mr. N has a big personality, and it's wonderful!!
May 22, 2016 4:09 pm
Adorable photo! My 50 lb. Husky thinks she's still a little puppy, LOL!

So clever! I wonder how Bean and Yoda see themselves. I'm positive they both see themselves as "larger than life." Perhaps Bean is a horse (she prances when she walks) and Yoda is a hippo!

TWO handsome boys (even if one is a reflection). I've never noticed Henry and Reese's reaction to their refection. We had a flood in our basement a few weeks ago and I rescued a mirror from storage. Ricky was drawn to his reflection and would sit and admire the big lion looking back at him for hours!!!

Love this! Such a great photo!

Our Lilac Point Siamese thinks he's a dog. He was surrounded by dogs during his formative years and now loves to roll over to have his tummy scratched and sits up to beg for food. 🙂
