why do dogs yawn when they're nervous?
Anyone know why dogs yawn when they are nervous? I'm interested in
this as a biological phenomenon, in addition to a behavioral one. Since science hasn't yet figured out why people yawn, I think there might be something to learn in why dogs do it under totally different circumstances. Thoughts? -Jen

For some reason, that I can't explain, I start yawning, if I have passed my normal meal time without eating.
