   It’s entirely possible to see a moon very much like that (allowing for Gilligan’s artistic licence) in the day sky soon after New Moon … it happened here last week.

   " Do dogs also howl at a lunar eclipse?".
   
   ALL Animals go crazy around a good lunar eclipse. A lunar eclipse can only happen around a full moon, and if the moon has risen well, in clear skies, all the animals expect a full moon all night. Years ago, we had a perfect full moon from almost 10 PM until midnight, and I was in a neighborhood with many outside pets, cats and dogs mostly. The neighborhood had some wooded areas, a bayou and swampy land. All the nocturnal creatures were out, and most of the diurnal creatures were up with their owners to watch the eclipse, and their vision was good. When the eclipse began the owls went nuts because their light was dimming. About halfway into the eclipse, dogs starting barking, horses were restless and everything was making noise except the cats, who acted like they caused it.
   
   So, in a nutshell, yes, dogs bark at a full or nearly full lunar eclipse, but it seems they are barking at the nocturnal animals freaking out.
   You owls keep it down, decent folk are trying to sleep!
   Likewise, howling at a moon is a canid’s way of telling those squirrels, and owls and cats to turn that light out.
