My sisters dog is a (very happy and healthy) tripod, so I immediately understood one of these for once! Another user commented.

Someone said: Someone said it’s a tripod dog and it’s scratching it’s back. Okay I get it but look around his crotch, I swear I’m seeing some sort of a dog or creature face in it’s left side.
