Yep. Nice to see a real human being for a change. GW may have his shortcomings, but at least he's human.

What struck me about this picture is that the dog is obviously very used to having his tummy tickled by W; this was NOT a staged shot.

Dogs will always go into that supplicating position towards the leader of the pack. Dogs are pack animals. Bush is the leader of that dog's pack, so it is natural for him to do that. [Yes, they do loved their tummies rubbed.]

Our Yorkie will do that on command for me. Usually I just have to look at him and he does it, sometimes I have to tell him, "Grovel." He then gets his tummy rubbed and all is right in the world, as far as he is concerned.

Good to see that the dog has his tags, eh? Does anyone know who the 'First Vet' is? heh heh

I guess I see too many pit bulls and rottweilers around here. They don't look like groveling types.
