Canine Language: Whale Eye

At the point when a canine dismisses his head, however turns his eyes around to keep you in sight, he is showing "whale eye," and is typically terrified or guarding something. The whites of his eyes will show in a bow shape and upsetting him can prompt snarling or snapping. A firm body finishes the strained picture.
