Is on the bottom?

Answer:

SITS

Hint:

Think of what a dog does when obeying a command, or how a chair is used by someone taking a break.

Explanation:

The clue "Is on the bottom?" plays with the double meaning of "bottom." Literally, something on the bottom could be sitting there, so "sits" fits as the answer. It’s also a clever nod to the phrase "at the bottom," where "sits" sounds like "its" when spoken aloud, adding a subtle wordplay twist.
