Question：Cats or Dogs, which do you think is the one that got a lot of praise for doing a handstand?
The Answer is：Dogs
Praising their pets, people say ” Good boy! Good girl!” In Japanese, “dog” is pronounced “Dodgu”（ドッグ）If we read it backward, Dog will be Guddo, ドッグ→グッド＝good
逆さまになる＝do a handstand
褒められる＝receive compliments / got praise など
