  1. Most dogs’ snouts are long, they’d have to dunk their entire head under water.

  2. They don’t have control over their lips like we do but that’s also because of their long snouts.

She was just smart enough to get in trouble. She almost died as a puppy from trying to get at the cats' food. I have never seen cats work together before or since but they saw her slink into my parents' galley kitchen and they looked at each other and split up so each went running into opposite ends of the kitchen. If my sister hadn't run in ahead of them and snatched her up they would have tried to end her.

Meanwhile cats place their tongue on the water and use surface tension to pull the water up and “bite” it

And my dog just dunks his whole head in the water

My parents' GSD would then make a beeline for the nearest person to wipe her mouth on their pants. My mom was keeping her water bowl in the bathroom for a while and she would bust in the door to drink when she knew you were in there peeing because then she could try to use your pants as a napkin.

My Australian cattle dog was terrific at the first part. Punching the water with his tongue. The next motion he was all screwed up with. He would pull the water out the side of his mouth.

The puddle he would make was larger than the bowl he drank from.
