Ask Scarlett: Scarlett, since you're in the dog family, I thought you'd know why dogs lap up water instead of making "kiss face" and sucking it up
Ranger Rick, May, 1998
Because we dogs have talented tongues! The front part is wide and flat. We can curl the tip under to form a "cup." Each time we stick our tongue in the water, we scoop up a whole "cupful" of water. Pretty nifty, huh?
