Most of us will agree, there is nothing quite like having someone scratch your back, or in the case of dogs — if they could talk, they'd likely say that it's the area around their ears that's most favorable!

Typically, when you rub or scratch a pet's ears, you'll see an expression that exudes absolute bliss — the eyes close, and a happy grimace appears on their face. So cute.

This dachshund is seen here enjoying a little cuddle time on its human's lap as well as a little ear scratch.

But, the expression on Obi's face is different one that you've seen before: the look of happiness and comfort is certainly there, but you'll notice something else that's quite unusual.
