Sometimes dogs can do strange and incomprehensible things.

However, in this case, the pet may be trying to tell its owner something.

At the same time, you can understand the dog’s mood and condition by its gestures and facial expressions.

Head down and ears pressed back

In this case, your four-legged friend may experience fear.

If a pet is afraid, it will try to avoid or retreat.

The dog may also press its body to the ground, lower its head, press its ears down and hide its tail between its legs.

But the reaction to threat and danger can be different.

A dog may start growling, baring its teeth and barking out of fear. In this way, the pet will try to protect itself.

Whale look or "baby face"

Sometimes the dog may press its ears to its head, and its eyes appear round and large.

Moreover, the eyebrows are folded into a “house”, and the lips are pursed.

This expression on your pet's face may indicate that he is very happy.

In addition, a four-legged friend may behave this way if he is trying to beg for something or calm someone down.

Playful bow

If a dog jumps from place to place and leans forward slightly, then this may be how it makes it clear that it wants to play.

At the same time, the pet will actively wag its tail.

If the animal freezes in this pose, it may be a signal for reconciliation.
