How do dogs perceive their humans?

I often find my animal - Swishy dog - staring intently at me whilst I'm doing my artwork.

She even grabs my artwork gently at times, as if she's saying - that she loves what I'm doing and that she also wants to have a go at it.

By the way, yesterday Swishy dog did something incredible! I rushed to a meeting and forgot my keys - stuck right in the front door! My neighbour eventually phoned me whilst I was at the meeting - explaining that she found my keys and that she was astonished as Swishy apparently dog led her to my front door! Swishy apparently came to herd door- and kept on scratching the door - which Swishy never did before. Everytime my neighbour would open her door, Swishy would run to my apartment - my neighbour then became concerned, - and when she eventually investigated, - she discovered my keys stuck in the front door! Now how could a dog be clever enough to do this kind of thing? I don't know. All I know is that it happened! ❣️ What an amazing dog!!! An an artist of s doggie too!
