The head is lowered. The tail kind of bends down. They become extra calm and just sort of stand there. Shame on you. You get complete canine collapse.
Guilt overwhelms a dog.
Your dog either slinks away in misery or roles over on its back and shows submission. You usually patch things up on the spot, no matter how terrible the thing was they did. Unfortunately for God, human beings do not have nearly as clean and clear a process when they do something wrong. Humans are not nearly as reliable or repentant. We seem to possess an uncanny ability to shift blame, and ignore consequences, and shirk responsibility.
