Yawning and Blinking in Dogs – Pet tip 217
When it comes to reading a dog’s body language there are many movements and gestures to pay attention to. Some of the gestures are easy to understand. A growling dog is sending a clear message and very few people will mistake the intention of that message. It means that the dog is uncomfortable and you should immediately back off or back away. The growl will likely also come with other gestures like standing forward, ears pointing forward and possibly raised fur. A broad wagging tail is also a clear sign usually associated with happiness and alertness.

Samantha, Sam for short, was an amazing dog, who died at the age of fourteen. Sam loved to play a type of tag game, which was really cool. Once, at a barbeque, she ate my hotdog!
Everybody loved Sam. I had a picture of her on my desk at school. SHe was like an older sister to me, since I'm just two years younger than her.
I almost cryed my heart out when I found out she had been put down. My dad got home, and me and him were the only ones home. I rushed to where he was and asked, "Where is she?" The first thing he said was, "She's gone." It was the first time I had ever seen my dad cry. I've cryed everyday ever since. It happened so quickly. One day she was fine, the next day she was suddenly paralyzed in the legs. The next.... gone. But my dad says she's in a better place now. That makes me happy.
