Cuddles

Today I was sitting on the couch to work on schoolwork and Cuddles decided to join me.
I was reading a logic book, and hoped Cuddles would be paying attention to the book as well (I try to make sure my puppy is educated) .
I'm now doubting that she'll be able to learn much from the book. I don't think she's interested in logic. She has a very irrational fear of Frankenstein, and no amount of reasoning with her will convince her that he isn't scary.
And it's a very obviously fake Frankenstein. He appears to be made from polyester, sewn around a wire frame. Obviously her fear isn't logical.
My logic book is on informal fallacies, so that doesn't really cover irrational fears of fake monsters, but if she's so un-logical in that aspect, how can I expect her to be logical about fallacies?
I'm sure she could never spot a red herring. Unless of course there was a literal red herring and she's hungry...
