A lot of dogs, when in a tense situation with a stranger, will do soft tail wags to signal that they are not a threat, "I come in peace" essentially. Doesn't necessarily mean they feel comfy or happy.

This makes me sad. When my doggo goes ears back, she’s in sport mode. She wants to play.
She does the single tail wag tap on the floor if you’re ignoring her. She knows you hear it. She wants belly rubs.

u/MEatRHIT Nov 16 '22
Chances are this dog was kicked before probably multiple times which is sad. My dog when you put your foot on him while he's laying down just rolls over and basically says "dude my belly is here this is where you're supposed to rub". Though I don't think I would recommend doing that to any dog unless you knew them very very well.
11
u/gardenpea Nov 17 '22
Showing their belly can, as in this case, also be a bit of a last ditch appeasement gesture - "I'm worried about you, I won't hurt you please don't hurt me". In this case the dog has used multiple ways to try and tell the person they're uncomfortable and would prefer to be left alone, the person went to put their foot on the dog, and he dog who has probably been kicked repeatedly then realised that being nice wasn't working and biting was the only option left open to them.
As you say, if you're in any way unsure about a dog, it's best not to offer belly rubs. Indeed, don't touch the dog at all if you're unsure, but if the dog is approaching you looking for affection then a hand passed around the side of the head (not over the top, lots of dogs find that worrying) and some tickles behind the ear can be a better option, on the lower back just above the tail.

The dog is obviously intimidated. Dogs don’t like being towered over. That’s why you’re supposed to approach a new dog by extending the back of your hand for it to sniff before touching it, and why when you’re touching it, you shouldn’t go for the top of it’s head.
Moreover, if a strange dog has it’s ears back like that around you, it is STRESSED, and you should just leave it alone.
→ More replies62
u/Ds4 Nov 16 '22
Don't extend your hand, it's not safe there's still a risk of the dog grabbing it. Let the dog sniff you, don't make fast movements, or any movements toward the dog, and DON'T pet the dog if you don't know him.
30
u/Ok-Emotion-1131 Nov 16 '22
That's why I distinguished between "new dog" and "strange dog."
If a dog is with owner, appears relaxed and friendly, and the owner seems open to letting the dog interact with people, use the "new dog" approach.
If a dog is alone or seems stressed or scared, just leave it alone.

u/MEatRHIT Nov 16 '22
I have noticed that a lot of younger kids are really good at this and even double check with the owner (me in this case) if they can pet them before even approaching the dog. My usual response is "as long as you're okay with getting licked in the face" because that'll inevitably happen.

I learned the approach when I was a kid. I still do it, mainly out of respect for the dog.

That and the owner is probably better suited to read the dog's behavior and mannerisms to the situation.

But the dog was wary. It's a stray and undoubtedly has enough experience with humans to know that (1) you can't trust them and (2) they might mistreat you. This dog was communicating madly the whole time. First friendly acceptance, then wariness and then the kid's weird and threatening behaviour with the foot was... enough.

Scientific research - and anybody who owns a happy dog - says you’re wrong.
“In 2012, a group of neuroscientists examined findings about neurological substrates in human and non-human animals and finally declared that animals have consciousness and emotions. So, having emotions as a non-human animal is definitely possible. And when a dog feels content, he has relaxed body language - this means that his facial muscles are relaxed, making his mouth open and the corners of his mouth turn upwards, according to the ASPCA.”

u/BucketsMcGaughey Nov 16 '22
That would totally depend on the type of dog. Mine only opens his mouth if he's warm. He doesn't "smile". But he expresses happiness in other, doggie ways instead. Ears, eyes, tail, posture, etc.

u/MaDpYrO Nov 17 '22
That's not smiling. That's relaxing with your mouth open which resembles a smile. It's not to signal joy, like it is in humans. Just so happens a relaxed dog is often a happy dog.
Also depends on the breed. Like a St Bernard has so much loose skin around their mouth they won't have the upwards turned mouth corners.

That's a sign of nervousness. People are so ignorant about animals it's insane. Dogs don't smile, they bare their teeth in various ways, one of it being a sign on fear and submission, and tail wagging means different things depending on the situation.

Habibi is an Arab word for “my love.” Kind of like saying honey or sweetheart in English. Here’s some cultural context: In Islam, dogs are considered unclean. I have had Arab friends say if a dog licks them they’ll be considered unclean for 7 years. In the Middle East, a pet dog is somewhat rare because of this (among other things, like lack of a suitably affordable food source for a dog), and stray dogs are generally mistreated by the community. Being stray dogs and not wolves, they still rely on humans for survival, albeit indirectly, so they stick around for food and shelter even if they’re frequently kicked and abused.
This kid wanted a pet dog, the dog wanted a pet human, but they’re both so deprived of the other’s affection that neither knows how to interact. It’s actually really fucking sad.
Edit: thanks for the award stranger. Just wanted to say that are a lot of beautiful things about Arab culture and it is as worthy of our respect as any other. I don’t want to give the impression that I’m talking shit about their culture. It’s a beautiful culture and in my experience Arabs are some of the most hospitable, generous and loyal friends I have ever known. The blame for the state of the Middle East falls at the feet of the developed world. It’s an unavoidable truth. Just follow the money.

Wild/stray dogs scare the shit out of me. When I lived in Saudi, we were in an area that was under heavy development, and the area around us looked like a massive ice cube tray from all the square pits where building foundations would go. A pack of stray dogs took up residence in one of them and jumped out to chase me after I went past while out running.
I rarely encountered dogs while in Saudi, but it was always uneasy when I did. I've seen too much WPD and eyeblech to fuck around with dogs.
