Dog Patting

Any dog owner should get into the habit of patting their beloved domestic dog often.   There are many benefits to this simple action:

2.  You can tell the state of your dog's health by the smoothness, oilyness and softness of its fur.

3.  You can warm up your freezing hand

4.  You can teach your dog when you are using your hand for play and when you are using your hand for pat

5.  Cheap and easy way to bond with your pet while watching tv.  Yes,  you can multitask.
