Ok… let me set the scene here. I'm sitting on my sofa watching TV with my dog is resting peacefully on my lap. I'm channel surfing and land on a station that has little baby chicks running across the screen. Suddenly, my dog raises his head in full alert mode. He's looking at the TV with his eyes bugging out and then it starts…

The head tilting.

First to the right then back to the left. It was completely adorable to see but honestly I wasn't not sure if it was caused by the sound of the chicks, him seeing them, or a combo of the two that captured his attention.

It is such a cute movement, that slight cock of the head. There are a lot of different theories as to why dogs do this. My dog Max has seldom done this movement since the humorous Animal Planet (c) chick episode on TV but I'm very curious about what was going through his mind.

Then I found THIS.

If you will go over to page 2 you can read about some interesting theories as to why our pups tilt their heads when we speak to them.
