Weird licking...

[Cinnamontoast]

Zak has very recently taken to licking Bear's teeth. Weird. They are fed exactly the same and it's literally this week it started (no change of food). He can't be expecting Bear to regurgitate!

They're brothers, never been apart. I've never seen this behaviour before.

Any ideas?

Ooh, Bears teeth must smell yummy - to a dog, anyway! He's doing you a favour giving them a clean, he is the equivalent of Wrigleys!

Just not quite as minty!

is it not a sign of submission hun?

 

[Cinnamontoast]

Dunno, hun. He is very submissive to us, but is the most dominant of the three dogs. He initiates it, goes over, carries on even if Bear growls at him. Odd.

Whats his body language when he is doing this?

Hes showing how well hard he is lol... I mean would you lick a dogs teeth while it was growling?

It's Bear, tho, least scary of the three! He gets a toy then goes up to Zak growling. It's a play thing.
