Reply to comment by rambo6986 in How dogs scoop up water. by ooMEAToo

Their mouths are large and unsealed. Humans have a tiny gap at the front. Dogs' gap starts all the way in the back of their jaw. See this image for reference. The surface of the water would have to be all the way back there before they could get the suction. So their entire muzzle (including their nostrils) would have to be under water.
