My dad has hallucinations due to Lewy bodies and also has comically bad eye sight. (Like, only just about not legally blind.) And his brain just makes up whatever it wants.
Any vague shape like a bag on the floor turns into a dog, while a streetlamp at night turns into a person walking their dog. Shadows turn into dogs. Excluding random objects appearing, disappearing or moving around it’s mostly dogs.
He’s not paranoid and his visions don’t seem to bother him. They’re just sort of there

Seen something like that in treated Parkinson patients. Little dog hallucinations that don't bother the person.
