Why do dogs like their bellies rubbed?
Maybe someone can help me with this one.
I once assumed that all dogs just love to be scratched/rubbed most in areas that are tough to reach for them e.g. chest, between eyes etc.
But my dog, Albert, seemed to be suspiciously ecstatic one time while I rubbed his chest. So I wondered ... is this making him "horny?" I think someone told me that rubbing the male dog chest simulates the rubbing he gets when he's mounting a female. Any truth to that? BTW - Albert has all his "equipment" in tact.
I'm just curious.

Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done, had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908, whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defended me, I told him that it was his duty to defend me even by using violence." - Mahatma Ghandi
