Something Was Wrong
As Philip approached his dog, he recognized Thor’s unwavering stillness. Attempting to offer affectionate petting, Philip quickly realized that Thor remained completely unresponsive, fully engrossed in his focused gaze fixed ahead.
Philip looked to discover that Thor fixated intently over the fence into the neighbor’s yard. However, no suspicious activity was visible. Not a squirrel or cat walked about—only the neighbor tending to his garden. Philip attempted to distract Thor, but the dog remained transfixed, which worried his owner. Something felt off.
