Why do dogs pretend to be lame?

A dog pretending to be lame may want to pretend to be pitiful to gain sympathy from its owner, hoping that the owner will pay more attention to it. Some dogs cheat to eat and drink. This kind of cheating is very cute. The dog hopes that the owner will treat it with delicious food and drink for the sake of its lameness. If you find that your dog is pretending to be lame, be sure to treat it with a normal attitude. The dog will know that he will not be treated differently because he is pretending to be lame and will give up.
