My dog's a bit like this. The breed's definitely not for retrieving, so when he brings me something it's to play tug with it, or he's gifting it to me or just really happy and showing me. I have to be careful with his body language because if I throw something instead of praising him or showing interest, I can tell he gets confused and sad, like he failed me. But if I seem happy and interested, hell trot off with a spring in his step either leaving the "gift" with me, or still with it in his mouth happy that I think it's cool too.

If I throw a stick my dog will be like “oop I’ll go grab that dropped your stick”. If I throw it again he will deadass look at me like “I literally just got that for you, you’re on your own now.”
