Then he'll stalk off and throw himself down on the floor with a huge hard done by sigh

I always thought that dogs sighing was a sign of contentment
Many thanks

LOL - Dexter has a whole array of sighs and they each signify something different.
Big, deep, contented sigh - usually given at four in the morning just after he's jumped onto my bed, shifted around, and finally settled so that his head is resting on my feet.
Quick, short, irritated sigh - given pretty much any time we tell him 'no' to anything.
Weary, resigned sigh - when he's waiting for me to finish preparing his food or get ready to go out for a walk.
And finally the anti social sigh - a very definite, very loud sigh that he gives when he does not wish to share the sofa or be touched and anyone sits beside him and tries to pet him!
