What did I just see?

Was just giving the dog a brush, and think I saw a black animal run through the fur on his head. It was too big to be a flea, and it ran rather than jumped (assuming it wasn't a shadow).

I had a good rummage but couldn't find anything.

He is a Labrador so fairly dense coat but for that fleeting moment, it looked like something run within the fur.

He is on NexGard, and is up to date, he isn't scratching and I've seen no other evidence of anything crawling.

Any ideas what it might be, or did I imagine it? I will be getting a flea comb tomorrow to make sure it isn't those little blighters, but it looked bigger. It may have just been a trick of the light as his fur flicked.

Shove him in the bath. Lots of lather to suffocate any critter. Lots of combing...

I've just had another good rummage with a torch and can't find anything. I will give him a good bath as you suggest. Whatever it was looked to be a good few millimetres long, and jet black. I can't believe it wouldn't have found it again if it was an animal.

Probably a bug that’s climbed on in the garden / on a walk and is now somewhere in your house .

That's kind of where I ended up. I'm almost tempted to think it was a trick of the light based on how fast it appeared to move. I haven't found any further evidence of anything and he's had a good wash now.

One questions one's own sanity at such moments 🤦‍♂️
