Quick answer
PetSignalAI checks whether visible white eye is paired with head turn, fixed gaze, body tension, and a stress trigger before labeling it whale eye.

Input situation
A dog is holding a chew while someone reaches nearby. The photo shows a white crescent in one eye.
- Resource context
- Visible white sclera
- Head angled away
- Person approaching
Visible signals PetSignalAI would check
The model compares eye shape with posture and context so a casual side glance is not overcalled.
- Fixed gaze toward approaching hand
- Closed mouth
- Still body
- Object guarding context
Example output
Likely interpretation: whale eye with guarding concern. Suggested action: do not take the chew, move away, and set up a safer management plan.
- Increase distance
- Avoid direct reaching
- Use management around resources
What this example cannot prove
The image cannot prove intent. It can identify visible risk cues that should change human behavior immediately.
