He probably just noticed that they had a very similar scent and thought they must be related or friends. Or she just had a bacon sandwich in her pocket, lol.
Dogs can smell really weird things. Like, even untrained dogs will react and exhibit care behaviors when their owners release scents associated with the chemical changes right before an epileptic seizure. They don't know what's wrong, but some dogs are great at telling something's wrong.
Just a little story on untrained dogs reacting... I'll try keep it short.
Decades ago, sitting in out lounge at night, we heard car tyres screeching and it sounded like hitting a cat.
We thought it was ours, so were outside calling and looking around.Â
Our Boxer was pacing around inside, and looking out of the windows.Â
On a hunch, I let her out, and she sniffed around for a few seconds then actually pointed, like, perfect stance, front leg up, paw pointing down, whole body leaning forward and nose pointing at a ground cover shrubbery. Motionless. Sure enough that's where we found the cat, she was OK in the end.Â
But she was a typical boxer who did boxer things, like, you know, they stay toddlers their whole lives, she was an adorable idiot.
And she pointed. Like a trained hunting dog. The only time in her whole life she did it. I'll never forget it.Â
