Dogs "lie" to you?
What do they say?
“Honestly, I haven’t eaten today/the ~other~ dogs chewed your shoes/I have no idea how that dead possum got into the living room”
:)
[it’s true...on the internet, nobody knows you’re a dog...because you’re a “pit” and you LIED about it]
No, no Mom, I would never climb on the table and scarf down the entire tureen of chicken and dumplings. Must have been some other dog.
Of course I didn't take the entire bag of clothes pins and hide them in my house. They must have climbed in on their own.
Yep, I have been sitting here on the floor all day. No, I didn't get up in the chair and pull off the afghan. Had to have been the wind that blew it off.
They “say” things with their body language to make it seem like they want to play until you get close enough to the fence to grab your arm or face.
They “decline to say” things with their body language to warn you that they are approaching you to attack you because you might run away or prepare to fight. I’ve seen videos where the dog runs purposefully with the head down, tail wagging lazily, only glancing at the person they are running toward before attacking.
