You know that chest on the floor, arse in the air thing dogs do when they want you to chase them, throw a stick for them, or some other depressingly stupid activity that dogs find endlessly amusing? Well,
doggy behaviourists call it a "
canid play-bow",
apparently, and it's a pretty
universal signal among the whole
doggy family (including wolves). That's "bow" to rhyme with "now", not with "low", incidentally, just in case it isn't obvious.
Next week: that 360° rotation thing cats do on your lap before lying down.
