## Caption

Dogs also use sneezing as a "calming signal," indicating a need to slow down, pause, or show comfort with the current situation.⁠
⁠
At times, dogs may "fake sneeze" to capture attention or signal a desire to play. For instance, if a dog sneezes around the usual times for meals or walks, it might be a deliberate act to communicate their needs.⁠
⁠
When engaging in fake sneezing, dogs often observe humans to ensure they have captured their attention. They might even approach closer and sneeze directly on or near a person to ensure they are noticed.⁠
