Can dogs look up?

I knew I couldnt be the only one who knew this fact.

Thanks Lindercles.



Put your dog in a down stay - put your hand on its nose so it can't tilt back, and hold a treat 18 -24 inches in front of its nose then lift the treat and you will see th definate rotation of the eyes in the sockets in a "upward" direction.

What most people may not be aware of is that dogs have a wider range of vision (periferal) and do not need to rotate the eyeball in the socket as far.

:D I think the better question is Alex, can you lick your own balls?





If not, does that make the dog a superior species???




If alex could lick his balls, do you think he'd really be spending so much time post-whoring?

I miss Lee.
And JP.
And Chris. And...

I dont have an issue with them being able to lick their balls making them superior. But maybe you should consider this:

A sperm whale has a 9 foot penis. If that makes it superior to Ron Jeremey then how come I've never seen a sperm whale in a porno movie?

Same way as I wouldnt have a dog put down just because it gets a CNS disorder and starts "looking up".

TV's got them images, TV's got them all, nothing's shocking.

um not sure where this came from, but usually you dont have to, they either get better or they die, nature is kinda efficient that way.
Life is not fair and there are no guarantees...

In order to truly "look up" one must be able to cast their eyes in an upward direction, while keeping their head stationary. An act that everyone knows dogs are utterly incapable of.



My senior female does that all the time because she is to lazy to lift her head off the ground to actually look up at me.
Fly it like you stole it!

could you provide a photo as proof?



Glad you suggested it.

Granted that this is staged but follow the logic you so graciously suggest is the path to the answer.

1. to look up it has to be physically possible. The picture hopefully does that - not a retouched photo - just shot it a few minute ago.

2. if it is physically possible, it is naturally possible - that is, in nature it will happen.

3. Now the hard part - you have to trust your fellow man. Dogs that are "excellent" rated must hold on point and wait for a command from their handler. The caommand can be silent - ie. with hand or body.

If they are using their nose to hold a running prey like a Pheasant - how do you suppose they take the command to flush if it is not verbal - I suggest that it is not by sense of smell or hearing. They Look. But if you have ever witnessed a versatile gun dog excellent on a point, you know that they will never change the position of their nose except in the direction of the prey.

Believe or do not believe - your choice. Mickey got paid, he's happy with the result.

could you provide one that is datestamped by the camera to ensure that there's been no shenanigans?



Sure,

Just keep hitting the refresh button, it will be there very very soon.

you're obviously being sarcastic about the lizard, but at least you can tell its a real lizard ina real room, rather than the cropped images you provide of your "dogs looking up".

Without context or perspective it seems a little difficult to be certain of exactly what your dog is doing.
