Here are my 22 favorite things about dogs. From super eating abilities to the guiltiest faces you’ll ever see, I promise you’ll love them. And love your furry little child a little more in the process.
Dog urine can corrode metals. In fact, several lampposts in Croatia actually collapsed because so many dogs were peeing on them.
Dogs have 18 separate muscles to independently control each ear.
Your dog’s earliest ancestor is the Miacis, a small weasel-like creature which lived 40 million years ago. Dogs share this ancestor with wolves, raccoons and bears.
Square-headed dogs (like St. Bernards) can hear subsonic sounds better than dogs with narrow heads (like Spaniels).
But tiny dogs, like Chihuahuas, can hear sounds in higher ranges than big dogs.
Dogs can hear, smell, and even taste a storm long before a weatherman. So don’t worry about watching The Weather Channel next hurricane season.
When dogs dig after pooing, they’re not burying anything – they’re marking their territory using scent glands in their paws.
A dog’s nose is exactly like a human fingerprint. Seriously, it can be used to prove identity. Good luck sticking a dog’s face in some ink without making the mother of all messes, though.
But! They don’t really enjoy hugging. In the canine world, putting your limb over another animals signifies dominance.
Akita Inus are the most badly behaved dogs around – owning one could even negatively affect your home insurance.
