Can Dogs Walk Backwards?

Answer 1

What an interesting observation and question...

I have 3 dogs, and I can safely say each of them will scurry backwards if I prompt them to back up, but it is more of a hopping back bounce, because they are eager to go forward or where ever they want otherwise.

I have never seen them walk backwards for their own amusement though. But then again, I don't walk backwards for my own amusement either.
