According to Mental Floss, dogs tilt their heads in order to empathise with you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As any devoted pooch owner probably already knows, dogs are incredibly good at reading and responding to body language and vocal cues. So when they tilt their heads it\u2019s likely they\u2019re listening out for specific inflections and tones that they associate with good things like walks or dinnertime.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It could also be to do with the internal structure of the canine ear too. Some experts believe that when dogs cock their head to the side it\u2019s to aid in the adjustment of their outer ears to help them pinpoint the source of a noise.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now, please enjoy a SPECTACULAR demonstration of this move in action, by an adorable bunch of malamute pups listening to music,<strong> WATCH HERE:<\/strong><\/p>\n[bc_video player_id=&#8221;JWbQKFO6Y&#8221; account_id=&#8221;8394117001&#8243; video_id=&#8221;4597352917001&#8243;]\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/cms.fiveaa.com.au\/news\/words-on-your-resume-that-could-be-losing-you-the-job\">WARNING &#8211; HAVING THESE WORDS ON YOUR RESUME COULD BE COSTING YOU JOBS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/cms.fiveaa.com.au\/news\/this-is-what-facebook-will-look-like-in-ten-years\">REVEALED &#8211; THIS IS WHAT FACEBOOK WILL LOOK LIKE IN 10 YEARS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AT LAST!
