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
