My little dog figured it out, to scratch its own belly, it’ll do the sploot (back legs poking straight out, tummy to the floor) and then drag itself across the carpet, so it’s tummy gets rubbed.
I think dogs just love a good scratch from us, like some people (self included) love a good scratch on the back from another human. It’s nicer sometimes, when you have someone else putting in the work for you.
