Full on Superman sploot……..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

YES! My pug does this too. He comes in from a long play session outside and plops himself down on the cool hardwood floor like this. Is this an all dogs kind of thing?? Come to think of it, my Frenchie did it too!

I’ve read that it’s common in all dogs. It’s a display of being content. They are relaxed enough in their environment and with you that they can totally relax. It’s definitely a good sign.

The Great Danes laying position is what I like to call “tipped”

If you mean the way it's lay, then it's too cool off dogs. They only have sweat glands in their paws. So they lie like this as it gets the heat points (arm,leg pits) you will notice it more in shaded or cool areas like lam flooring,tiles ect

Sorry don't know the sex hence the it

Learn something new everyday.

The sploot.

Frog legs

My staffy does this all the time

Pretty sure it’s a dog thing. All dogs do it.

Splooting is a dog thing 🤣

Splooting or Frog Dog it is to cool off for dogs also other animals do it. Tortoises to warm up in the sun on a warm surface.
