What's one "weird" thing that turned out to be an allergy symptom?

For the longest time, I thought allergies in dogs only showed up as constant scratching or red skin. Then I noticed something I would have never connected to allergies at first, my dog kept licking his paws after walks and rubbing his face on the couch like he was just being dramatic. At first I thought it was just a habit, or maybe dirt from outside, but it kept happening over and over. Later it turned out to be an allergy symptom, and once I started paying attention, the pattern was pretty obvious. No fleas, no obvious injury, just that annoying little behavior that seemed harmless until it wasn’t. That made me realize how easy it is to miss the smaller signs. Sometimes the weird stuff, like paw licking, face rubbing, ear shaking, or even sudden restlessness, can be the first clue that something is off. What’s one “weird” thing that turned out to be an allergy symptom for your dog?
