According to this Chicago Tribune article, some animals -- puppies, chimps, rats -- are proven to actually laugh when they're tickled.
Apparently, it took a bunch of guys in a lab many long years to prove what any alert dog owner already knows. If you go hhh-hhh-hhh to a dog's face, he'll take that as an invitation to play.
Unless the dog is the mini schnauzer living next door to my folks. That little ill-bred creature has NO sense of humor. He's meaner than Muttley.
