I don’t know if you have noticed that when a mother dog picks up a puppy, she will pick up the piece of meat on the back of the puppy’s neck, and many pet owners will also hold on to the piece of skin on the back of the puppy’s neck when they catch the puppy. So will it hurt if I grab it like that? And why can I catch it like that only when I was young, but not when I grow up?
In fact, the piece of meat on the back of the puppy's neck does not have too many pain nerves. Because that piece of meat is thick and skinned, it is easy to pick up and does not feel pain. After all, it will not resist whether it is picked up by its mother or its owner. This is enough to show that such behavior does not cause it to feel pain. And it's not just dogs, all canines and cats are like this, so the puppies of canines and cats are picked around by their mothers. This behavior does not touch their pain nerves. This is why the puppy will not resist the meat behind its neck being picked up, because it will not hurt at all, and it can walk without itself, what a good thing.
As for why only cubs can be carried around, the following statement is made. First. The grown puppy is basically the same size as its mother. Can it be said that the mother can still hold it? Moreover, its weight increased rapidly at this time, and the little skin on the back of its neck could not bear the weight of its entire body. What's more, if you can walk on your own, do you still need your mother to carry it around? So why wouldn't owners catch adult puppies like that? Because a growing puppy actually feels better in your arms than when you catch it. So this is why only suckling dogs are picked up by their mothers and caught by their owners. In the final analysis, it is because they are small and easy to pick up and catch. As they grow, they are not easily picked up or caught, and they don't have to.
