4. Legs Up, Back Down
Similar to the “Crazy Legs” position, this option sees a dog’s front paws laying over their chest while their back legs are extended completely in the air. In this position, a dog can be lying on either their back or their side.
This position may be a sign that your dog is warm and trying to cool down; since a dog’s paws contain sweat glands, and their belly has the least amount of fur on their body, this is the ideal position for bringing down body temperature.
Be aware careful, though — if your dog has their paws curled over their chest while in this position, they are telling you they don’t want to be bothered. They could be on-guard if you try waking them up.
