You know how your dog gets all excited when you pick up a stick? Furiosa gets that same excitement too — but for her, there’s something even better than a stick. And no, it’s not a ball.
She stretches her back, lets out this funny little growl, starts wagging her tail, and jumps around in circles. And the reason? She saw a camera.
Well, we made two short films with her, and to Furiosa, a camera means playtime, treats, and our full attention. Every time she does something right, she gets a treat.
Or… sometimes just for looking at us the right way.
And if we really want to get her into a double-excited emotional state, we pull out the ball and play for a few minutes. That usually brings out her big smile.
If the smile fades before the shot, we just play again.
And when we finally get the shot, she gets high fives, hugs, and more treats.
She likes sticks, but cameras are way more exciting to her. So much so that sometimes I wonder what would happen if we started throwing cameras instead of sticks.
The only thing that even comes close is the track. But that’s another story.
