A dog's tongue lapping water in slow motion GIF

I always wondered how that worked

Thank you. I can die in peace now.

I can't stop laughing:')

I never thought their tongue scooped water backwards. I always thought it was forwards

I knew there had to be a way my dog drank water so fast despite appearing to just lick it.

It looks like the tongue is spilling out

Interesting... is it the same with cats?
