I like this one cause there's quite a number of ways to interpret it. The first one I saw was the doggy having a big appetite, licking its lips and swallowing its saliva while the spider is losing its mind 🤣

I found there to be 3 ways to interpret the spider panicking:

  • Attack
  • Frozen in fear
  • Running away

And for the dog, the swallow could mean

  • Actually eating the spider
  • A hungry, drooling swallow
  • A nervous gulp

You can mix n match most of these to get new stories :)

My interpretation is: the spider fell off a tree branch, landed on doggo then quickly fled. But doggo took no notice for he was just dozing in the afternoon sun.
