I've lived with dogs my entire life and I always thought it curled the other way, guess I never looked too closely

Yup only cats curl it forward, dogs do it backwards

Fun Fact- Cats might curl forward, but they don't scoop water like Dogs do. Individual droplets of water will attach to the rough surfaces on a cats tongue to bring the water back, which I think is cool as heck

Yeah and the crazy thing about cats is that they don’t “scoop” water. They touch the surface and fling it or allow the molecules of water to adhere to their tongue and they pull the water into the mouths.

Wonder if it's the same case with licking their privates?

Sometimes my dog puts her whole snout in the water to drink. Then pulls it out when she discovers she cannot breath all crazy like slinging water everywhere. She will have a confused look on her face then go back to drinking.
