Are Smiling Dogs Happy? New Report By Pet Resource Explains Canine Behavior Shirley C McMillion uses her own experience as a dog mom to help you know if your pet is smiling in her new report on Cute Dogs Blog. A dog's "smile" should not be confused with aggression, which is characterized by a tense posture and growling. Remember: not all dogs smile when they are happy. Some dogs become more playful with their owners while other dogs prefer leaning in and snuggling. Regardless, the clearest sign of dog happiness is its posture. A relaxed body with floppy ears indicates that your dog is feeling comfortable and relaxed. Despite dogs being considered "man's best friend", there are several canine behaviors that may seem strange to first-time parents. One such example is bum scooting, where a dog will begin to move their bottoms back and forth across the floor.  While this can seem initially funny, bum scooting can indicate a serious medical condition!  If you notice your dog scooting, you are recommended to see your nearest veterinarian.  Go to the link https://cutedogsblog.com/is-my- dog-smiling-at-me to learn more.
