Get real. Motion isn't unusual at a dog park. Coincidence is the most likely explanation.

That particular motion can be quite attractive.

It's about making "lemonade from lemons", I tell you. Had he not been perving he wouldn't have noticed and not been of help. It's like nosey neighbours helping to deter or identify burglars in the house across the street.

Thereafter, I thought about causation. Why did my gaze turn to her sweater pocket just as her phone fell from it? Why not then to the clouds, or to birds, or dogs, or to other people? Was it just the motion? Or the operation of gravity?

After much profound, brilliant philosophical reflection, I concluded that my gaze was drawn to HER NICE BUTT.

What principle does this event illustrate?
It was probably the motion that attracted your attention, just as a predator is attracted to the motion of the prey. You probably wanted to touch her butt.
My gaze is often drawn to the beauty in or of particular things, such as President Trump's incredibly beautiful wife (who speaks five languages). She dazzles. The woman's butt at the dog park was nice, but not incredibly beautiful.
