Dogs don’t understand embarrassment the way humans do.
They are not trying to invade privacy or behave badly.
They are simply using the most powerful sense they have to understand the world around them.
To dogs, a quick sniff can reveal more information than an entire conversation does for humans.
So the next time a dog awkwardly buries its nose where it shouldn’t, remember:
Your dog isn’t being rude.
It’s just saying hello the only way it knows how.
