Do you ever look at a dog and wonder "why? Just why?"

Was surveying an occupied house today. The owner had a calm and friendly dog. As I got on with my work it pretty much ignored me. That was until I'd had finished checking various items and sat down to write up my notes. The dog snuggled up beside me. Then he did something odd. He started off sniffing my arm then caught some arm-hair in his front teeth and tore it out. I jumped. It was bloody sore and completely unexpected. The owner looked over at me and asked "Did he just pull your hair out?" When I replied that he had the owner shrugged and said "Yeah! he does that. Buggered if I know why".

So, What do dogs do that have you wondering "why did it do that?" and what are the strange things they've done to make you wonder it.

I often wonder why dogs want to eat other dogs' poo, or sheep poo, or rabbit droppings, or hardened cow pats etc.

My brother's dog loves to lick peoples' lips and mouths. If you are asleep on the couch with your mouth open the bugger will get his tongue right down your bloody throat. He also eats any st or dead stuff he finds out on walks. Bad combination.
