What does it mean when a dog give
 us the 'down dog' stretch?  Not the goofy ready to play signal but that:  facing the alpha butt in air front paws out and chest ground salute.

I remember a lady telling me it has some significant meaning but i dont remember.  Anyone know?

I assumed it was just a stretch!  Does it have significant meaning???  I would love to know!  Every time Kana does it we say.."nice bow!"  He does not do it on command, though!
