It's back to the canine companions for this week's installment of Animals of the MLS. I'm having a hard time telling whether this pooch is real or stuffed. I'm going to go out on a limb and say he is still among the living although I'd entertain the argument from the other side. He certainly seems quite fixated on some sort of object or activity that is going on beyond the photo shoot in which he has no idea he's the star. His ears are perked up and his tail is in a neutral position so the body language tells me he's more curious than defensive.
As interested as he seems to be in what is happening in another area of the house, in my opinion, the agent could have easily waited until he investigated the off camera action before snapping the picture. This room seems cluttered enough as it is without the added pet being showcased as well. Although being hidden behind the shade of the floor lamp, there is also a bird cage in the room. Birds are not only extremely messy but can be a very loud distraction when it comes to showing a property.
This is also a perfect example of a client needing to be steered towards the help of a professional stager. This living space is not very large but it is cut down to appear even smaller with the presence of multiple plants and too many home decor items. A potential buyer would be hard pressed to notice the great selling features of this room such as the fireplace and the vaulted ceilings. Let's just hope the added disturbance of pets in this home didn't affect it's ability to find a new owner.
