Those Eyes

We've all had the experience of snapping a photo of our dogs which should have been a great shot, except that the eyes glowed yellow in the flash.

Or at night, you shine a flashlight into the dark to locate your dog and you see those yellow eyes looking back at you.

Well, we have an exception. See these beautiful soft brown eyes? They belong to Tsar. But Tsar's eyes don't glow yellow in the light. Tsar's eyes glow red.

Tsar is all black and disappears in the dark, so at our last call, I take a flashlight to  help locate him. What I see are two bright red orbs looking back at me. That's all that shows up. Even after all these years, it's startling to see two bright red eyes coming toward me in the dark.

Dr B says the rods and cones in Tsar's eyes are different than most dogs and cast the red glow instead of the usual yellow. Just another example of Tsar being a strange cat/dog creature.
