In MMO ' s everyone under 1000 hours played is probably a new player . <| sep |> Dogs are connected to us in a way that is completely unique since we created them and then engineered them to be our companions . Even more intelligent animals wouldn ' t be able to understand us as well as dogs do . So they know when we are angry and when we ' re not angry , which is one way to know if a person wants to hurt them or not . They also will frequently come to us when they need help with something , depending on the dog ' s breed and personality . Mostly what you ' re seeing here is obedience and submissiveness to the will of the people around him . He is uncomfortable but wants to please his people , which you can see from his quick obedience and also from his ears back , licking his nose etc . This is also something he does regularly since he puts his paw out for the doctor so he probably knows the drill . He probably does not have the capacity to understand that the doctor is helping him , but he does understand that even if he ' s uncomfortable that he ' s not in danger , and this is something his person wants him to do and that ' s all that matters . Does that answer your question ?
