| 7 Things You Do Not Know About Dogs |
You may have
learned a lot about dogs, but we are sure that you would not know at least half
of the following points. Take notes and tell us how much you have learned here!
1 - Dogs can
decode our face
It does not
matter if you are sad or angry, or if you explain it to your dog or not. Even
before you take care of it, your dog already knows how you feel and what's
going on. Scientists stated after several studies that dogs can detect and
distinguish our emotions.
2 - They
sweat by their paws
Have you ever
seen a dog sweat? Probably no. You may even have wondered how dogs do with so
much hair and in the summer heat. It is very simple. They sweat, but not where
you think.
Their sweat
glands are located under the pads of their paws. For this reason, sometimes
your dog's pads may have an odor that you do not know where it comes from.
3 - They can
learn vocabulary
A
"normal" dog is very intelligent and his brain can absorb as much as
a young child. He is able to learn and remember 200 to 500 words. In addition,
he could learn to do basic exercises in mathematics.
4 -
Greyhounds are more interesting than you think
It is said
that dogs have not existed for so long. The Greyhound contradicts this
assertion because he is not only known to be the fastest dog (able to reach 45
kilometers an hour) but also to be the only dog mentioned in the Bible.
5 - Their
temperature is higher
If you are
very hot at some point, do not doubt it: your dog will be even hotter. While our
body heat oscillates between 35 and 37 degrees, that of dogs reaches 38 to 39
degrees. This is one of the reasons that fleas and ticks attach themselves to
them so easily, seeking their warmth.
6 - The rain
hurts their ears
When your dog
does not want to go out when it's raining, it's not because he does not want to
get wet, but because the noise is very painful to his ears. Rain amplifies the
rest of the sounds, and its sense of sensitive hearing is therefore affected.
7 -
They can detect cancer
Even before
you or the doctors know about it, your dog can detect that you have cancer or
some other illness such as diabetes or epilepsy. Although scientists have no
an explanation for this phenomenon, it seems that animals do it through their
A sense of smell.
