Everyone starts coughing and maybe clearing out, expressing their displeasure.The dog looks up at the commotion and seems to be the only one enjoying it, oblivious that he’s the culprit. Congratulations! Like countless other dog owners, you’ve just been a victim of the infamous silent but deadly canine flatulence. The “silent” part is a fact of anatomy.
