They are stress relievers, awfully adorable and so cute. Yes, we're obviously talking about dogs. These adorable little (and big) guys bring us immense joy and happiness in our everyday lives and make for an escape from all the stress we have going otherwise. Wouldn't you agree? We also call dogs 'man's best friend', however, we bet you didn't know these 8 facts about our furry friends. Read on and be surprised.
Dogs don’t have fingerprints, but they do have nose prints! How weird is that, right? So, the next time you're looking into a doggie crime scene, you know what to do. Dogs actually do dream way more than you do. While smaller dogs tend to dream more, larger dogs are known to have longer dreams. Here's clarifying what the dog is trying to say whilst wagging his tail. The common misconception is that he/she is being friendly, however, here's what it actually means: When a dog's tail is wagging in a neutral position they’re happy when they’re agitated, it’s in a higher position and when your dog is scared, it’s lowered.
It’s a known thing that dogs sweat and let out heat through their tongue, but a lesser known fact is that they also sweat from their paws. Next, when your dog gives you that guilty face, you may think your dog feels guilty for being bad or doing something silly, but they actually don't. It is just a reaction to being told off. Talking about jealousy, dogs do feel extremely jealous. Dogs are territorial animals and they are also very possessive about their humans. This is for all of you'll who are dealing with stress. Petting a dog has been known to be calming and can also lower high blood pressure. Lastly, about the issue all you pet owners face. The eating grass issue! A dog knows when they have eaten something wrong or they have little indigestion, so they tend to go and eat grass. The grass they eat acts as a binding that helps them with digestion.
