The Paw Lift - Sheldon® Comic Strip

PANEL 1: A white and brown spotted pointer dog stands staring at a tree, one leg up, tail straight up in the air in attention. On the tree in the foreground is a squirrel, looking back nervously. NARRATION: Dogs have an ancient, instinctive hunting posture known as THE PAW LIFT. PANEL 2: A red hunting dog stands among some bushes while ducks swim, stand and fly around a pond. The hunting dog’s front leg is lifted, eyes squinting. NARRATION: It means: I see prey. I am ready. I will STRIKE. PANEL 3: A small brown dachshund, DIGBY, stands on a front lawn with a fence and bush behind him. He lifts his front leg, tongue sticking out in concentration. On the sidewalk in front of him lays a brown, dried leaf. NARRATION: Unfortunately, your dingus uses it on a dry leaf that moved slightly wrong. ——— Want 5,000 more comics like this?
