5. Some dogs are out of alignment.
Usually, they are dogs with longer bodies, like weenie dogs or corgis.

I see cars like that a lot, where when you look at them from the rear bumper straight on, you can still see the front right or left side.

9. My dog often runs with his body at an angle to his heading,
so that when he hits the end of the leash it'll dig into his shoulder and not his throat...

10. Good question.. my Dog Smokey (RIP)
Always looked like that in those rare moments he was in a hurry (And those moments were rare) . .

Smokey didn't move fast for anyone . . . heck sometimes he just didn't move . .
