My dog (Beagle and Boxer mix) who is four years old randomly started staring around the room like he was following something. He did this for about two hours. He would interact when I approached him to let him but then would go back to staring around the room. What could this be a symptom of?

Hello, those may signs of seizure activity. These signs may be followed by other seizure like activity including trembling, facial twitching, and more disorientation. If these signs persist, then Copper should be evaluated by a veterinarian or a neurologist. He may need to have full bloodwork to rule out extra-cranial (outside of the brain) causes for seizures. Hope this helps and best of luck.
