I had a monstrous yellow lab in the past. He loved to play dodge with me. One time, he ran directly into my legs and planted me face down. Despite all the action and excitement, he immediately came over to me very gently and licked me and waited for me to get up. He had a very guilty look on his face.
Doggies haz teh friendlies.
Very sweet. I had a cat once who did the same for me. Rest in peace my surrogate Mommy and Daddy-T man. That cat raised me through my twenties and made me grow up. I am so blessed to have had such a companion. RIP baby and all the other special pets. I often pray for all pets to be comforted especially the ones alone or abused.
Dogs and Cats are angels on earth in my opinion even though I am sort of sure my religion would not agree except for St. Francis of course :-). I’m sticking to it anyway.
This looks just like Mock Dog.
And how much did this worhtless study co$t ?
Anyone who has a dog knows this !
Good dog test.
Fall in the floor as if you were in distress.
A good dog will come to the rescue..Licking or trying to turn you.
Bad dog will get nippy or show signs of stress themselves.
Awww.... Some cats will also comfort humans, but not all. We have a huge neutered tomcat (John Carter, Warlord of Barsoom!) who is the sweetest big lug. Whenever I sneeze, he mews like he’s blessing me, and if I cry, he’s instantly by me, head-butting me and trying to cheer me up. My other three cats, I admit, are not nearly so empathetic (though they are quite affectionate).
