Many people are almost obsessed with pets. They buy them all sorts of things and spend so much time looking for things about them. Perhaps you're a friend of one of these people, or perhaps you are one yourself. Whatever the case, these fun facts will impress any dog-obsessed people you know!
- Each dog has a unique print on their nose, much like that of the human fingerprint.
- Speaking of dog noses, they, interestingly enough, are wet in order to help them absorb scent chemicals. They lick their noses to identify it, helping them understand what it is. In addition, their noses can sense heat.
- Dogs have three eyelids.
- Dalmatians are born pure white, their spots developing as they grow older.
- When a dog wags its tail, it is not necessarily because it is excited to see you. It has its own language, wagging to the right signifies happiness, wagging to the left typically signifies fear, and quick wagging, especially with tightening muscles, can signify aggression.
- Dogs dream just like people do, but they dream more in their younger and older years than they do when in their adulthood.
- In the Beatles song, 'A Day in the Life,' there is a frequency near the end that only dogs can hear.
- While you may think that your dog is feeling guilty for what it did wrong, its posture and action of 'shame' is actually just it responding to your angry posture and attitude.
- Dogs are generally as smart as a two-year-old human child.
- Three dogs survived the sinking of the Titanic.
- Dogs don't actually hate cats the way that they are normally portrayed as doing. In fact, they simply feel the instinct to chase after speedy things, whether it be a chew toy or a cat.
- All puppies are born deaf and blind.
- While dogs have far better ears and noses than humans, they have far fewer taste buds in comparison to human taste buds.
- Dogs can become jealous, not in the way most grown humans do, but in the way that a small child does.
- Basenji dogs don't bark, instead, they yodel.
- Dogs aren't colorblind. They, in fact, can see blue and yellow.
- Exhaustion isn't the only source of a dog's tiredness. They also yawn to relieve stress or a feeling of anxiousness.
- When dogs kick behind them after defecation or urination, they aren't trying to hide it. In fact, they are using scent glands in their feet to mark their territory.
- While you may expect your dog's breath to smell bad, it can actually be a sign of dental issues if it's a reoccurring incident.
