Do our dogs laugh?
How often have you imagined that your four legged mate is laughing with you. We do tend to treat our dogs as humans and expect human reactions.
The Nobel Prize winning ethnologist, Konrad Lorenz wrote in his book Man Meets Dog:
“…an invitation to play always follows; here the slightly opened jaws which reveal the tongue, and the tilted angle of the mouth which stretches almost from ear to ear give a still stronger impression of laughing. This ‘laughing’ is most often seen in dogs playing with an adored master and which become so excited that they soon start panting”.
