This may not seem like a big deal to those who don't have dogs that like to bark at the passing of a leaf, but it's a slight annoyance to me & my "bark at anything & everything" pup.
Every time a scene in a movie or TV show takes place outdoors, there's a dog barking in he background. Why? Do they think we won't believe the actors are outside if there's not a dog barking nearby? How often are you standing outside & a dog is barking within earshot? Maybe 10% of the time....not every single time.
This is not something I noticed before Ellie came into my life, but now I find myself wincing when the people on TV start to head outside, because I know what's to come next. Random dog is heard barking in the background, cue Ellie who goes crazy trying to figure out where it's coming from. Sadly, saying "Ellie...it's just TV", just doesn't seem to work. Even when I'm watching a movie in a theater or somewhere without her, I find myself tensing up, until I remember Ellie isn't there.
Please movie makers of the world, I understand it for movies with pups as characters, but other than that, cool it down a little with the barking dogs. Thanks.
