🐶It has been evidenced that they can distinguish between an hour and five. They can forecast future events, such as regular walk times, if trained to do so.
🐶🐶Your dog can detect your emotions. In fact, it shouldn't come as a surprise that they can smell things like fear. When a person is afraid, they perspire, and a dog can easily detect this change.
🐶🐶🐶Dogs rely heavily on their sense of smell to find food, so they sniff a lot. Their noses are designed to allow smells to remain in their noses while air moves in and out of their lungs at the same time, allowing them to breathe freely while still determining what that smell is!
🐶🐶🐶🐶Dogs do perspire, but don't anticipate seeing damp armpits any time soon. Whereas humans produce a watery sweat to cool off, dogs produce an oily sweat that is pheromone-rich but invisible to humans (dogs can smell it because they have such keen senses of smell). Dogs only perspire like humans on their paws, so they pant to cool off instead. Because of this, it's crucial to keep your dog cool on hotter days to make things easier for them.
🐶🐶🐶Dalmatian puppies are born entirely white and gradually acquire spots as they age.
🐶🐶Petting a dog can improve both your physical and mental health. Petting a dog for few minutes has been shown in studies to lower blood pressure, reduce stress, depression, and combat loneliness.
🐶Researchers discovered that dogs' sleep patterns and brain activity are similar to humans', and that small breeds dream more than large breeds.
🐶🐶You would assume that if your dog is excited to see you, it will wag its tail in greeting. No, not always. Dogs wag their tails to the right when they're happy and to the left when they're scared, according to Discovery.com. Low tail wags indicate insecurity, while quick tail wags accompanied by tense muscles or dilated pupils may indicate aggression.
🐶🐶🐶Dogs can hear much higher frequencies than humans, but did you know they can also hear further? Dogs, in general, can hear much softer sounds than humans, allowing them to hear things that are much further away.
🐶🐶🐶🐶The Saluki is the oldest breed of dog in existence. They can be found in Egyptian tombs from 2100 B.C.
