Why do they do it?

[kid curry]

can anyone explain to me, when talking to a dog, why do they put their head on one side as if they are listening intently. Are they really interested in what you are saying or is it something else. quite funny if you tilt your head in the opposite direction, how they tilt theirs to the other side too.

Yes, I often think to myself sometime that they understand every word we say. Mine is very quick to pick up on words like walkies, buiscuit, or do you want togo outside? those words he really dose understand
