In my house, you can walk from the LR to the DR to the kitchen and back through a short hall to the LR, making a big circle. After Max (see avatar pic) has buried a rawhide bone and left it until it is "just right," he will retrieve it and make 3 or 4 circuits at a brisk trot, holding the "treasure" in his mouth with his neck cocked up. It's like a parade, or bragging! If you call him during his rounds, he will turn his head to look at you, but he will never break stride. When he has done enough circuits, he plops down on his bed and enjoys the dirty, limp rawhide (while I get the hand vac to clean up the clumps of dirt that have fallen off!)
