It’s either one of the cutest or most annoying things your dog does—depending on how far away you’re standing: the vigorous full-body shake that comes after a dip in a lake or a pool, one that flings off seemingly every last drop of water. It turns out that these “wet-dog shakes” aren’t just an amusing quirk, researchers report; they’re a behavior hardwired in mammals—from bears to mice—all the way from the skin to the brainstem.
