Ich würde empfehlen, die Übersetzung - offenbar aus dem Englischen - noch einmal zu überarbeiten.

"busy" vermittelt meines Erachtens nicht die Vorstellung von Eile, und die Zeitstufe sollte wohl ein Tick niedriger sein, sonst würde es wohl "had been busy" lauten.

Vorschlag: "Der Hund war damit beschäftigt, ..." ODER vielleicht "Der Hund war eifrig damit beschäftigt ..."

Und einen schönen Sonntag!
