That is called a play bow - The play bow is a common body language gesture used by dogs to invite another dog, animal, or human companion to play. Doggo wants to play!

Yeah, I guess so, but he has never done it in that pronounced manner before!
A lot of things are a bit different with him since he is a shelter dog, it’s quite clear that he remembers a lot of not good stuff from being a puppy out on the streets…
You can tell a lot about your dogs mood by watching their tail, if it moving fast they are excited, if slow they are more apprehensive. If he came from a shelter it might take some time to build a bond, looks like you have been doing a good job and he trusts you!
It has taken years, it’s only now around 4 years later that he REALLY starts trusting us in everything without even being to jumpy…
Looong story, and still have to watch him around other dogs, and especially the 4 kittens that he absolutely view as food!
Could also mean that he's a Muslim.
Haha, from where he lived downtown I guess it would be a Sikh then!
That stretch is good for your back. That is why cats and dogs do them. That is why humans (all) used to to them.
Yeah he does that too, but think this was more about communicating something :-)
He talks a lot, I try to follow up but have no idea except for “let’s go” which he taught me & sometimes go along with when I make that sound too hehe
100% the play bow. So fucking cute I die each time my dog does it 10x per day. Dogs are the most pure and genuine creatures. I’m thankful for my dog every day.
