I have a doubt with this one.
5. He went out with his dog following behind. => He went out and his dog (was) following behind.
The use of behind sounds somewhat odd to me here for following itself implies that.
Is it simply because the economy of reduction? or to deliever a subtle difference from #2 to #1?
Here's another example of the similar structure.

Q2) The reason why this participle structure used is the same reason as #1 and #2?
