Hi Guys..Someone sent me this video and I thought it was so interesting and cool that I'd share it with you. I bet you don't know how a dog drinks water. The way they use their tongue. Everyone thinks they do it the opposite than they really do, including me so I learned something today. Watch this and see what I mean..Its in slow motion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63Ch2pNkZwU

What an interesting movie. Like you did, I thought they take the water on the tongue, not under the tongue! My dog Binne should see this movie. Maybe she will learn how to drink water like a dog. :)) Now she drinks more like a pig. She submerges her muzzle and makes bubbles, just like a pig. But she likes to drink water from the sink, the most. I turn on the tap and she starts drinking from the running water. Maybe I should make a movie when she does so. She is so funny!

Hi inu..You very much should make a movie of her. I dont know anybody who dosen't enjoy a funny dog video. I can just picture her putting her muzzle in the water. Do you have a video camera? I don't but wish I did. My 2 dogs could supply everyone with hours of laughs..They are quite the pair..Thanks for the post and make that video!

Wow Thanks for sharing, I didn't know that..No wonder when I was a kid it seemed useless to try to drink like a dog..(Okay, I confess I did goofy things as a kid and dog lover) And no I won't try it this way, but will show my son, he'll probably want to try..lol

Lol, thanks for the BR, my son says it isn't possible to do, that a person can't bend their tongue back that far..But he says it works well on ice cream cones..

Hi sulsisels, that was very interesting! I couldn't stop watching it! I never knew that either. When seeing it in slow motion it does look completely different and now it makes sense! Now I see how the water actually does get into their mouthes and not completely on the floor!

Hi Opal..I know, I think I watched it abut 10 times in a row myself! So cool..Since I've seen it, I've tried to watch my dogs drink but I can't seem to catch it. Slow motion is such a cool thing in helping us understand different things. Have you ever seen a flower open in slow motion? Really neat.
