Oh, look at that. A dog who loves having his belly rubbed. How shocking… not!
A kitten? Big stinking whoop! Let's face it folks: everyone knows dogs and cats love belly rubs. If you've been stopping strangers on the street to give them the good news about dogs and cats loving belly rubs, save your breath! We got the memo. On the other hand, you probably have ZERO IDEA that every single other species of animal loves belly rubs just as much. Just. As. Much. Don't believe me? Well that's because you're a damn fool. Just take a look at all these contented critters enjoying the crap out of their belly rubs. You'll be eating belly rub pie.
1. A horse.
She loves having her belly rubbed, of horse.
2. A micro pig.
This micro pig gets macro pleasure from a belly rub.
3. A koala bear.
Koalas may not technically be bears, but this one is technically in paradise.
4. A meerkat.
Does a tickle count as a rub? Don't ask this guy, he's too busy chittering with joy.
5. A lizard.
Did you think only mammals loved belly rubs? This uromastyx would tell you: urong!
6. A platypus.
Don't let the duck bill fool you, this one's a mammal. A cute mammal! It also lays eggs.
7. A hedgehog.
It might have a spiny back, but underneath is a soft tender belly ripe for the rubbing.
8. A magpie.
This wild bird can only be tamed by one thing: The Rub.
9. A baby goat.
This goat may be just a baby, but he's a savvy kid who knows what he wants.
10. A seal.
Would you go scuba diving just to rub a seal's belly? Of course you would.
11. A tiger.
This one might be dangerous. I've been clawed by a cat before because I stopped rubbing its belly. In this case, that would be fatal.
12. A guinea pig.
This one could be dangerous too. Because I might never stop!
13. A puffer fish.
The best part about rubbing a fish's belly is that it forgets in 30 seconds and you can start all over again.
14. A squirrel.
Some people say squirrels are just like rats, and I agree. I would rub a rat's belly too.
15. A rat.
You see? They're irratsistible.
16. A snake.
If the rat weirded you out, you're definitely not cool with this!
17. A bunny.
This bunny is your reward for getting through the snake. Incidentally, if that snake ate this bunny, you could rub both their bellies at the same time!
18. A chubby wombat.
The only thing better than rubbing an affectionate wombat's belly is if that affectionate wombat is also fat.
19. Another corgi.
Am I running out of ideas? Nope, corgis are just adorable.
20. A shark.
A shark! Forget Jaws, this is more like Awws!
21. A hedgehog cuddling with a buddy.
I know I already did a hedgehog, but this one's cuddling with a buddy. I think I'm in the clear.
22. A parrot.
Another bird. But this one is a majestic macaw. Fun fact: this is the only animal on this list that can tell you it wants a belly rub in plain English.
23. A dolphin.
Dolphins are very intelligent, which is why they know never to turn down a free belly rub.
24. A wolf.
This she-wolf is having a howling good time!
25. A Texas spiny lizard.
Everything's bigger in Texas. Except this tiny lizard. But he does love a BIG rub!
26. A sugar glider.
Gliding into our grand finale with this cutie! Next up is a doozy…
27. A tarantula.
If you don't think this is cute, you need to be more open-minded. Or go back and watch one of the other videos.
28. A turtle.
There you have it! 30 animals who can't get enough sweet sweet belly rubbing (don't forget the bonus two at the top.) If you watched all of these videos to the end, congratulations. You're a certified rubologist. Now get back to work.
