Lucy, seven months old, sits by the cabinet on a day her owner says was full of farts.

Somewhere in all that sitting, one of those farts arrives, and her face changes. Her owner's words for the look are horrified confusion, and they fit. It's the face of a dog who has just been ambushed by something she can't see.

Her owner said she was amazed to catch it on video at all, and that the look on Lucy's face is the priceless part. In another moment she sits square to the camera, ears up and calm, the very picture of a dog with nothing to hide.

Dogs digest food much the way people do, so the gas is no illusion. When a dog is very gassy, diet may be behind it. Low-quality dog food, table scraps and lactose, the sugar in milk, are all possible culprits.
