Balder (named for the Norse god Balder the Beautiful, natch) is a total sucker for belly rubs. As you can see.

This is Balder when we met him. He heard, "Aww, what a sweet puppy!" and, knowing exactly what that means, just flopped over and exposed his belly.
![That was some good belly-rubs... what? A shot of me standing up? Aw, you don't need that... you just need to give me some more belly rubs! Standard Poodle](https://dogsofsf.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/CIMG1894-600x433.jpg)
This was Balder while we were trying to convince him to stand up. We tried commands. We even tried treats. He would MUCH rather have more belly-rubs, thankyouverymuch.
