Re: Leaning and sitting on feet?

[quote=eyoung;803004]Max is a leaner, too. My family, friends and I have always seen it as more of a lingering hug. Lots of care and affection involved in these type of leans. As far as leaning on strangers, he may do it if the encounter warrants it as appropriate-basically, feeling if the stranger is ok with it.

It's telling the other that their place is lower than his.Right from the start he's making clear who's in charge.
