I actually made a mistake when I first posted it and said "the dog on the left is not running for PM". Good job I spotted that and changed it to say the dog on the right. B)

Another way to try and train your eyes to "stick" to the Kanji, is to watch English language movies with Japanese subtitles. Focus on the subtitles and try to read them before they change. After a while you will be subconsciously reading the movie as well as listening to it. Very good practice.
