Most canine companions seem to have a fascination with staring that can be nearly impossible to deter!  Sometimes while you are working, your dog won\u2019t take his eyes off you, or your pup will just sit perched on your lap, trying to engage in a little non-hostile staring contest.

Here are some of our favorite staring pups and their relentlessly long gazes.   <\/p>\n<p><strong>Not sure who will win this epic staring contest.
