New Rescue German Shepherd Barking at Cats

Cairn Terrier Chases Shadows and Bites

My arrival stirred him up.  He did a lot of jumping up. 

Then he started looking for shadows and reflections. He obsessively chases shadows. He growls and barks at them.  He was very restless all evening. He even had to be held still so I could take a photo of him.
