Hi Sonnyboy,
What a lovely picture and thanks for sharing this with others and making this thread, A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself. Do you have more pictures to share?
The golden I used to have did similar things w/her ears/eyes when I approached w/a leash. It was a habit formed from years of me sliding a new collar on with the leash attached. She'd squint and pull her ears back in anticipation of the collar being slid over her head.
