Eyes shut
During an interaction, often during the phase of
leaving, the dog closes its eyes.
(Abrantes, 1997; Capra, 2011)

In this encounter between a female
German Shepherd and a mixed breed male, the Shepherd is
leaving, ears turned sideways, tail lowered and eyes
shut.
This mixed breed male is exhibiting
anal-genital olfactory exploration towards an American
Staffordshire who has lowered her tail, turned her ears
back and shut her eyes.

A sable mixed breed male encounters an adolescent female
German Shepherd. The male moves away, shuts
his eyes, stops, walks with head down and
greets the owner of the German Shepherd. The female
Shepherd approaches her owner, looks at the mixed breed,
licks her flews, circles around her owner and displaces
the male, who shuts his eyes
and then leaves the interaction.
