the DOGGY APPROACH

GETTING TO KNOW YOU


FACE TO FACE -
puppies touch,
another tries a
special approach to a cat (I'm lost & scared - can you be my friend & comfort me?),
KISS KISS! (hmm what do you taste like -!)
OR as they get older ...
SNIFF SNIFF (are you my friend? OR WHAT DID YOU EAT -yummy? or ?














LITTLE GIRLS are more spontaneous,innocent and brave !!

BONE TO CHEW ON
DOGS have lived with man for centuries. However we cannot interpret their response to us as if they were human. They are far more tactile in communication than man.Their priorities are different, as the Anthropologists tell us. For example - what we deem as a hug of friendship, they see it as you establishing your dominance towards them, and will allow it if they feel that you are of a lower rung than their master/leader of the pack. But will resent it and show their resentment by body language or growling to prevent you hugging them.You , however will interpret it as unfriendliness, which is not the case. Their senses of smell,taste and body language are their primary means to engage with one another. They do know our human age and do respect it . In one of my previous blogs, you can see dogs responding to babies differently as to adults. As puppies, they have more innocent ways of communicating amongst each other, much like us humans when we were young. .But like us, they are social creatures always trying to establish their social rung in their family.
