Default How Dogs Drink Water

My son showed me this today.
I did not know this is how they drink water.

I never knew dogs like...cupped their tongue underneath...I always thought they just licked the water.

well that dog is a very 'neat' drinker,,masi is a slob, it usually drools out of her mouth as she leaves the bowl, and then there are puddles around the water bowl as well

Huh, I always thought they cupped their tongue up - that's really neat!

Madix mostly likes to snorkle around in his water bowl, and half of what he laps out, shoots out the bottom of his mouth before he swallows...maye I should show him this video haha
