Digging!

Dogs like to dig for a variety of reasons. Most commonly, it’s part of their hunting and burying behavior, though they can be looking for a cool spot, or in the case of these guys – just playing around! Keep an eye on dogs that seem to have nervous or other anxiety issues, which digging can be a sign of. But especially in the dog days of summer, digging is often just a way to find a nice, dirty, cool hole to lay down in!
