@thecreaturepreacher: While people love the idea that dogs tilt their heads just to see past their long snouts, experts say it is probably a mix of things. A researcher named Stanley Coren did find that dogs with big noses tilt their heads more often than flat-faced dogs like pugs, which makes the snout theory seem plausible at first. But behaviorists point out a few flaws: our own brains easily look past our noses without head tilts, flat-faced dogs still tilt their heads sometimes, and newer studies show that tilting is heavily tied to listening, concentration, and processing sounds. So, while clearing the muzzle might play a small part visually, dogs are mostly just tuning in, focusing hard, and trying to make sense of what we are saying. So I believe it’s a combination. What about you?

Interesting... but why does my Frenchie do that when we're talking to him? He's got big ol' eyes to see us and a short snout.

My Bella would look at me… I would say something… she would tilt her head and keep looking at me, ears twitching. So I would say something else.. and again she would tilt her head back the other way. I only saw her doing it when she was attentive and listening to someone. Or something. Like the birds. She would listen. Then when she heard them and saw them she would tilt her head a little. So cute. I’ve never heard the nose theory before. Interesting.
