Poor Hans looks down on his little buddy, fearing the worst. Harry acts “broken” and collapses on his side. At around the 30-second mark you’ll spot exactly what I’m guessing those researchers picked up on. My terrier, Harry, was playing with his much-larger buddy, Hans the Boxer. It wasn’t until October 2013 that I captured the underhand rollover ninja attack move on video. I’ve been pounced on innumerable times by a prostrate pooch. Growing up and wrestling with dogs, I suspected the rollover was a way to lure me into relaxing for a moment and putting my guard down.

Rollovers occurred more frequently the longer two dogs played together in this study. Smaller dogs didn’t stay in a rollover position longer than bigger dogs.Smaller dogs weren’t found to rollover more frequently.In other words, big dog-little dog interactions had the same frequency of rollovers as big:big or little:little. The size differential between dogs did not influence rollover frequency.They observed a few interesting findings:
Researchers wanted to scientifically establish if the rollover move was a submissive signal or a combat maneuver. I’ll save you a trip to the dictionary and remind you that a dyad is a group of two.

After analyzing countless hours of videos, the researchers concluded that rolling over was actually a very slick combat tactic. Leave it to modern researchers to question this age-old wisdom and threaten to turn the canine behavioral world upside down, not to mention threaten countless relationships, including mine. These are commonly thought of as submissive postures or signals. I remember when I first met my wife I hit the ground groveling and have remained there for almost 30 years. Most of you have heard that a dog rolling over on its back is indicating, “I give up.” Many have witnessed two dogs meeting for the first time and one of the two instantly drops to the ground, belly up. What may be caninedom’s greatest secret is out: Rolling over is the new ninja.

CollectiblesThroughout the game there will be trinkets you can steal from the dogs, unrelated to the main mission.“Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.” Those words were written over 2,000 years ago by Sun Tzu in “The Art of War.” Like most veterinarians, I was taught that whenever dogs rolled over, they were being submissive.
