Male dogs lift their leg so they can direct their urine to mark their territory. They will typically urinate on the side of a post, tree or whatever is available for them to leave their mark on.
No. Male horses (geldings and stallions) will stretch out to urinate. Mares (females) spread their hind legs and squat somewhat.
snake or dog's hind leg

Yes, a dog who has hip dysplasia can climb stairs if a hind leg is lame.
It will get all over them unless they lift their legs to pee. More importantly, if it gets on the dog it will not "hit the spot" many canines urinate to display territory and show dominance. If it is on their leg- it does no good. I was reading on this today. What I found is that dogs do mark their territory as the previous answer indicates, but they lift their leg higher in order to get the urine just a little higher to appear as though that dog is bigger (more status) the he really has. Is it true? I don't know, but it sounds plausible.
The dog just needs your help to get him on to some grass and lay it down it will urinate, but if it doesnt then you should see a vet about that problem.
a male dog really do this . they do it so they can cortol where they pee
on the back side of the hind leg, behind the knee.
Then your dog has more than one broken leg and it might be a birth defect. Your dog doesn't need to be able to stand on its hind legs to be healthy.
humans use left hand to wash similarly it uses left leg.....
The dog has a chance of surviving. but you should take it to the vet so that the vet can put something in his leg so that it can heal better.
Assuming you mean to pee; they do this to better urinate on objects to mark their territory.
