: The authors declare no competing interests.
: Our study did not include animal experiments (as defined in the German Animal Welfare Act). The videos do not represent animal experiments, but rather simply observations of the behaviour of privately kept dogs in their familiar surroundings. The video clips were recorded by the dog owners themselves and then sent to DD. The dog owners have agreed that we may use their videos for this publication. We have received written informed consent from the dog owners. The small skin samples that were histologically analysed were taken from six dog carcasses that were brought to the Institute of Veterinary Pathology for necropsy and postmortem examination.
