My dog's weird obsession with my shoelaces finally made sense after 3 weeks
So my beagle mix, Gus, has been obsessed with my work boots' laces since I got them in March. He'd sit and stare at them, sometimes try to untie them while I was watching TV. I thought he was just being weird or maybe teething, but he's 4 years old. Yesterday I was lacing them up for a walk and noticed I always tie them left over right, same knot every time. Then it hit me, the laces are the same orange color as his favorite rope toy. I've been ignoring that exact color combo for months. He wasn't trying to untie my shoes, he was trying to play fetch with them. I felt like an idiot honestly. Does anyone else have a pet that gets fixated on something random like that and it takes you forever to figure out the real reason why? What tipped you off eventually?

Wait, he thought your shoelaces were a toy for 3 whole months?
