"Ears pricked" is an expression that describes a state of alertness or heightened attention, often used to indicate that someone is listening intently or is curious about what's being said. It originates from the behavior of animals, particularly dogs or horses, whose ears stand upright when they are attentive or on alert. In a figurative sense, it can also refer to a person's keen interest in a conversation or situation.
Some dog breeds that have naturally pricked ears include the German Shepherd, Siberian Husky, Pembroke Welsh Corgi, and Basenji. These breeds are known for their alert and attentive appearance due to their erect ears.
