In addition to the physical pleasure, I think there's another aspect to it.
In wolf/dog hierarchy battles, an animal showing its belly is displaying submission. Sometimes, the more dominant animal attacks anyway.
So, for a dog to turn up its belly and be treated to nothing but gentile stroking is a very reassuring. It tells the dog that the 'pack leader' (the human) can be trusted completely.

Aren't I well-trained? Been living alone for months and I still always put the seat down.
