How to tell if your dog is gay

It is not the case that everything we notice is about sex and gender roles. When it comes to what appears to be sexual behavior, it is clear that too much anthropomorphism combined with limited knowledge of dog behavior can head to bad outcomes for family pets. According to a report by TV WCCB in Charlotte, North Carolina, the owners of a dog gave him up to a shelter because they thought that he was "gay." The dog, Fezco, is a mixed breed, about 4-to-5 years old, weighing around 50 pounds, and by all reports, he is friendly and sociable.
