Interesting Facts About Dogs

Dogs See in Color. There is a common myth that dogs only see in black in and white, however, they actually do see in color, just not as vividly as people do. Where humans have 3 cones in their eyes to detect colors, dogs have 2. They can see a blue and yellow scale but cannot distinguish between red and green, but they do have better night vision than humans do. It is also believed by experts that see in a kind of slow motion. To make them more talented in catching balls and frisbees, their eyes take in information more than 25% faster than us. Also, since they can sense the earth’s magnetic fields, dogs can see UV light, and don’t need a compass.
Powerful Sense of Smell. Most know that dog smell well. But to paint the picture, we can just about smell a spoonful of sugar in a cup of tea, where our canine friends can smell that same spoonful in two Olympic swimming pools’ worth of water. Dogs can recognize smell of a range of organic compounds that indicate a problem in the body. This is why some dogs have been trained to help patients with diabetes, epileptic seizure, and even been to know to detect cancer early.
Dogs are Intelligent. According to research presented to the American Psychological Association, you might sometimes think your dog is a moron, but the truth is that they can actually be as smart as a two-year-old child. Dogs can perform simple mathematical calculations as well as understand up to 250 words and gestures. Among the cleverness of canines include border collies, German shepherds, golden retrievers, poodles, and Dobermans.
A Wagging Tail is Not Always Done with Happiness. The tail wagging has 2 languages of its own; when they are happy, the tail wags to the right and to the left when they are frightened. Rapid movements accompanied by tense muscles or dilated pupils can signal aggression, where wagging low means they are insecure.
Dogs Have Their Own Identifying Print. Their nose print is actually as unique as a human fingerprint. It can actually be used to identify them since their combination of ridges and creases is so distinct.
Bizarre Bodily Functions. Allowing for greater flexibility for running, a dogs’ shoulder blades are not attached to the skeleton, unlike people.
