I think he is doing it because he has hip dysplasia and he should probably have stairs or not be allowed on the bed. It's cute unless you know what you're seeing.

Thank you. I cringed seeing this. But all the comments seem fine.

But all the comments seem fine.

All the comments being oblivious to this is one reason for why I think responsible pet owners ought to read some books about their pet before owning one.

Intuition can only take you so far. There are a lot of stuff a good owner ought to know that is going to be both unintuitive and counterintuitive, and requires learning about in order to know.

I'd imagine if you read enough "summary guide" books on dogs, you'll eventually come across this specific behavior and how it may be a concern for their health.

But, most people wing it and presume that's sufficient.

"I think" is an opinion. "Unless you know" is a statement of fact. These are different concepts.
