I've seen dogs do that, too, and cats as well. In fact, we had a cat - Noel - which was fond of climbing up into the Christmas Tree to wait. When the train was turned on, she would pounce on it and wrestle with it. My theory was that she was amusing herself, playing, not thinking it was an actual snake. But what did I know. Sometimes, even when I had not included a loop of track for a train, she would actually climb up the trunk of the tree (this one)
to where she was exactly opposite our faces. She'd wait. Then, she would glare out at us, like a deranged predator, and reach out a paw very fast to pretend she was taking a swipe at one of us. My theory was she thought we had installed the tree in the house just for her. It was all such fun.
