Why do the dogs pet the characters in Nichijou?

Question

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

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

I looked up that video by googling the title, and the answer appears right next: Grandpa appears and does the same hand gesture as the dogs are doing with their paws − touches "Takashi" on the shoulder. Grandpa then explains that humans console each other, and dogs do the same thing.

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. – Hakase Oct 11 '17 at 16:48
