Please can someone clarify some very strange behaviour on
the part of my Bouvier, Cedrique. There's a tree in my garden,
the name I know not which, to which he's attracted. Often he'll
walk underneath it, rubbing himself against it's leaves. The odd
part is that he goes into some kind of trance, where he walks in
*very* slo-mo and fixes his vision straight ahead.
What's up here? My four other dogs don't do this.

If you suspect it's due to some chemical in the tree leaves, it would be
most helpful to know the name of the tree. Try your county extension
agent, library, botany dept. at a university, knowledgeable neighbor, etc.
