My old dog who recently passed away used to do this to me all the time, she knew what she was doing because she always had this shit eating grin on her face, if she could work out a way to fuck with me she would do it.
My chipoo hurt his foot once while walking and I picked him up to carry him home and take care of it. Since then, every now and then if he just doesn’t want to walk anymore, he will pretend to have hurt his paw and tries to get carried home.
Guilty
I would imagine your dog looks at you funny when you start barking at the door.
He doesn’t join in, which I think is bullshit because I bark with him sometimes, but he never supports me in my passions
My sister accuses her dogs of “fake news” when they do this. Frequently, it is a ploy to get the other dog to abandon a toy and come check out the “threat”, which the fake news spewing dog will then go steal. Very meta.
