10 Dog Facts!








1) Keep apple seeds and pear seeds away from your dog as they contain arsenic which can be deadly to your beloved dog.

2) Go Ozzy Osborne! Ozzy saved the family’s dog, a Pomeranian, from a coyote by tackling the coyote and wrestling the coyote until it let go of the dog. Can you see the mental image?

3) Guess how many eyelids a dog has? If you answered three, you are correct.

4) Dr. Roger Mugford invented the wagometer which will share the mood of your dog as it measures the way of the dog’s tail. (The wagometer claims.)

5) If your dog’s puppies are born by cesarean, make sure the vet shows the female dog the puppies before the are cleaned up--or the mother dog may reject the puppies.

6) Sadly the phrase “raining cats and dogs” originated from 17th century England. When heavy rainstorms occurred, many homeless animals would drown and float down the streets--thus looking as if it had rained cats and dogs.

7) Did you know that your dog’s shoulder blades are not attached to the rest of his/her skeleton? This allows for greater flexibility when your dog is running.

8) Is your dog’s name Max, Jake, Maggie or Molly? If so, these are the most popular male and female dog names.

9) Remember the dog on the Cracker Jacks box ? The dog’s name is Bingo. Talk about lucky as the Taco Bell Chihuahua’s name is Gidget and she is a rescued dog.

10) Be careful when you smile at a dog as a dog most likely interprets a smiling person as baring their teeth. Dogs think of baring teeth as an act of aggression.
