Why do dogs like belly rubs so much?
Dogs expose their bellies to us for two main reasons: as a submissive display and as a request for a belly rub since dogs can’t easily scratch their own tummies. Many dogs also enjoy rolling in carpet or grass to really itch their backs. Think of how nice it feels to have someone rub your back or scratch an itch that you can’t reach. No wonder dogs love getting a helping hand.
