    The dog's ears dropped

    When a dog lowers its ears in sadness or something, can I say that "The dog's ears dropped" or "The dog dropped its ears"? May be there are any other verbs which will be more appropriate?

    Re: The dog's ears dropped

    "Drooped" works better.
    Remember - if you don't use correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing, anything you write will be incorrect.
