A netizen’s dog has been acting strangely recently. He always sticks his butt up and refuses to put it down even when eating.

Puppies have been imitating since they were born. In addition to imitating their mother dogs in their childhood, they also imitate the animals they get along with day and night in daily life, such as us humans.

Through imitation, dogs can master many skills and knowledge, better adapt to human life, and win rewards from their owners.

For example, some dogs will lie down when they see their owners lying down, some dogs will also run and jump when they see their owners skipping ropes, and even some dogs in European and American homes will pick up newspapers on time after the postman delivers them. These behaviors will often be criticized by their owners. The reward strengthens the dog's motivation to continue imitating, which is essentially a conditioned reflex.

If a dog frequently has a similar "praying posture", it often indicates some symptoms, such as abdominal pain, such as stretching its front legs forward and sticking out its buttocks.

In fact, this is the standard posture for pancreatitis abdominal pain, which also includes people who like to put their belly close to the ground or press it on a raised cushion.
