Not to sound like a robot, but confusion is one of the popular comedic devices (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comedic_device). Look up "confusion in comedy" sometime if you genuinely don't understand.

<p>I have seen this scene where it's only Yukko who's laying on the ground and they just like petting the <em>Nichijou</em> character just like that, but the one who did that in the different scene is just only the big dog.</p>

<p>What's the reason these two dogs doing this? And, why a dog?</p>

What's the reason these two dogs doing this? And, why a dog?
