Did you know there are breeds of dogs that don't bark? Or that their moustaches help them see in the dark?
The dog is the man's best friend, we know that. But since when does this special relationship happen? The data speaks of no less than 15,000 years. And in all this time, we have learned many things about them, although we always have some to discover...
1. Your dog is as smart as a two-year-old.
Did you know that dogs comprise approximately 250 words or gestures? Very similar to what happens to a 2-year-old. That's why it's so common for dogs and toddlers to get along so well...
2 .You can hear 4 times more than humans
Dogs have quite developed sense of hearing, and this has to do with the frequencies of sounds and how their brain responds. They are able to hear sounds so 'low' that we are unable to detect.
3. Physically, a one-year-old dog equals a 15-year-old human This, logically, will also depend on each race... Large dogs usually age faster than small dogs. There are some calculators that help you know more accurately the age of your dog.
4. Dogs and cats use the same technique to drink water What is this technique? I'm sure it's something you've never questioned before. Both bend the tip of the tongue and raise the water vertically to the mouth.
5. They have sweat glands on their legs
Exactly between the leg pads. That's why it's no wonder they leave a wet trail with their legs on the hottest days...
6. He's or She's able to miss you.
Yes, and they learn our routines and habits, so they can calculate when it's time for the daily walk, for dinner... In addition, there are studies that show that dogs act differently when their owners were absent for different periods of time.
7. Detect your feelings...
According to various studies, dogs can detect subtle changes in our smell, which helps them understand how we feel (for example, if you sued, you may interpret that you are nervous or restless). They also ensure that are able to detect if a family member is pregnant.
8. His whiskers help him see in the dark
It's not about night vision, of course. But it is true that thanks to their whiskers they can detect subtle changes in the air currents, which gives them information about the size, shape and speed of nearby things. Thus, they can better perceive the proximity of some danger, even at night.
9. His sense of smell is 1,000 to 10 million times better than ours
Depending on the breed, dogs have between 125 and 300 million olfactory glands, compared to only 5 million for humans. And the part of the dog's brain that controls the smell is 40 times larger than ours
10. Some don't bark Specifically, a breed originating from the east of Basenji, very used for hunting. It has the peculiarity of not barking, but it does emit a curious sound (similar to a Tyrolean chant).
If you have any other curiosities, share and I will gladly share 😀
