1.Your dog is as smart as a 2-year-old kid.

There’s a reason your tot and your
pup get along so well: they speak
the same language. Or at least, they likely understand roughly the same number of words and gestures — 250!

2. Dogs and cats both slurp water the same way.

This may be hard to believe since
dogs are such messy drinkers, but
just like cats, our canine friends
bend the tip of their tongue and
raise liquid in a column up to their
mouths.

3. Your dog does have a sense of time — and misses you when
you’re gone .

If you think your dog knows when
it’s time for dinner or a walk, you’re right! Dogs pick up on our
routines and habits, and they also
sense how much time has passed.
One study showed how dogs
responded differently to their
owners being gone for different
lengths of time.

4. Your dog’s whiskers help him
“see” in the dark.

Okay, it’s not quite night-vision or
a super power, but those whiskers
pick up on even subtle changes in
air currents, providing your pup
with information about the size,
shape, and speed of things nearby.
This allows your dog to better
sense approaching dangers or
prey — even at night.

5. Dogs only have sweat glands in their paws.

More specifically, they are found
between their paw pads. That’s
why it can help to wet the bottom
of their feet on a hot day, and it’s
also why dogs rely on panting as a means of cooling down.

6. On average, a dog’s mouth
exerts 320 pounds of pressure.

The tests were done on a German
shepherd, American pit bull terrier,
and Rottweiler. In comparison,
human beings exert 120 pounds,
white sharks exert 600 pounds,
and crocodiles exert a whopping
2,500 pounds! Dogs also have ten
more adult teeth than humans —
42 versus 32.

7. Your one year-old puppy is as physically mature as a 15-year-
old human.

Of course, different breeds age a
little differently. Large dogs age
faster than small ones. You can get a more exact comparison for your dog using this nifty Dog Age
Calculator.

8. Your dog’s sense of smell is 1,000 to 10 million times better than yours.

Depending on the breed, your dog
has between 125 million to 300
million scent glands — compared
to only 5 million for humans. And
the part of your dog’s brain that
controls smell is 40 times larger
than yours — that’s true, even
though the canine brain is much
smaller than the human, relative to size. A human’s brain is about
1/40th of their body weight while
a dog’s brain is only 1/125th. Don’t feel too smug, though — an ant’s brain is 1/7th its body weight.

9. Dogs can hear 4 times as far as humans.

Puppies may be born deaf, but
they quickly surpass our heating
abilities. Dogs can also hear higher
pitched sounds, detecting a
frequency range of 67 to 45,000
hertz (cycles per second). The
human range is from 64 to 23,000
hertz. In both dogs and humans,
the upper end of hearing range
decreases with age.

10. Your dog can smell your feelings.

Your pup can pick up on subtle
changes in your scent, which can
help him figure out how you are
feeling — such as by smelling your perspiration when you become nervous or fearful. It’s also likely how dogs can detect certain diseases or know that a household member is pregnant.

And that's how these black Americans that call themselves dogs will start grinning sheepishly now.

Lol. Let me challenge you. If u know anyone who has puppies, Borrow one even if it's local. Feed it 3 times a day, walk it for 20mins every day and after 3 months if you still hate dogs I will understand.

They are called "man's best friend" for a reason.


I absolutely love dogs... Can't find such loyalty anywhere.
