Dogs like all petting from humans. Belly rubs are particularly enjoyable because dogs can't reach their own bellies well with their mouths or paws, so it's satisfying to them to have that area rubbed by someone who can reach it. (That's why they like scratches behind their ears, too.)

Why do most cats not like their bellies rubbed?

As with most animals, cats allowing another organism, be it animal or human touch its body is a big sign of trust. Because the belly is where the vital organs are the most accessible, they are very protective of it. Unless a cat lays near you stretched out with its belly facing you, it probably does not want its belly rubbed and will not change its mind.

What is something you do to a dog that it would like?

Often, dogs like similar things. They really like it when you scratch them behind their ears and rub their bellies. Mostly, it is the smaller dogs which like to be rubbed in the bellies. Something else they like very much is when you adore them, pay attention to them, and treat them well. At the end of the day, a dog would have a better life if you payed attention to them and underfed them than if you properly fed them and neglected them.
