Probably the cutest thing dogs do is tilt their heads when they hear or see something unusual. Usually, dogs perk up their pinnae (visible outer ear) and tilt their heads to compensate for the interference of ear flaps for optimum sound collection.
But if you find your dog frequently indulging in this activity then it could indicate some serious health condition.
The tilt usually indicates disorders of the vestibular system, a sensory system located in the inner ear which provides the information needed to hold the body in balanced and upright position.
