He was fostered at the Animal Emergency Clinic before he found me, so he pretty much likes everyone, people or animals. And in that pic, he had just been to the groomer. But now that he was in the car, he knew he was going home, so he was especially happy...

He's been seeing the same one almost since I got him. But a few months back, I was told that she'd moved, would have had to take him much farther away, well over an hour, so we've been trying to find someone else who does as good a job and we both feel comfortable with. I'm kinda bummed out since she worked with him and seemed to like him a lot - and he knew her. But even with her, he always headed straight for the door, couldn't wait to go home!

I was just wondering if this was a Brussels Griffon - if it was your dog - and they are pretty unusual. I've had two BGs in my life, both rescue, and I've only met one other one, ever!

that dogs sought domestication for the belly rub.

This pretty much proves it

it's the complete trust the animal has in the person to allow the belly scratching.
