I think the slow motion dog shakes are cool.

I saw this boo-koo years ago (just the dog) and, yup, it's way cewl. You can't see it too well here but the twisting progresses from nose to tail in a ripple effect.

Birds do the same thing, except in parts: they shake their head and their body separately. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceGi0h_6ZIc

I can just see the instructions: we'll get your dog soaking wet, then you stand there with him on a leash while he shakes himself dry. No, no, it's alright, I'll let one of your assistants hold the leash...

Cute little bird!

My dog always does the shake out after a good stretch even when she isn't wet. I'm jealous --- it looks as if it would feel so good and would work out all the glitches.
