Why do you think the first thing that a dog do to a strangers that they never meet is to smell their butt ?

Question

but when the dog meet you the second time it will no longer do that. Just watch NGC when dogs meet other dogs the first thing they do is smell the backside

Answer 1

I do not know that because I'm afraid of dogs.  I think maybe they  try to smell if you are familiar and there is certain pheremone that is found in the butt.

Answer 2

Bark

Answer 3

i thought they only do to other dogs. never know they do the same to human. are you sure of what are you saying?

Answer 4

huh..male , female or s*****e.. grrrrr  wooof!!!  woooof!!!

Answer 5

the dog kinda g*y...

Answer 6

I can only guess that there's a lot of scent glands around that area which kinda tells the other dogs who they are.

It's a good job humans don't greet each other in the same manner...lol..

Answer 7

probably to make sure whether the other dog clean or not. you know, when you meet a stranger and he/she has a bad breath that can kill the rats at the nearest garbage disposal places, you may avoid yourself to know them.

"Yuck! get away from me!!"
