Isn't that interesting?

Zeus lived up to his name.

Cute right?

Did you know?

Aren't they the sweetest?

They can do everything huh?

Best companions!

Have you ever wondered why your dog curls up in a ball when they sleep? This is to keep themselves warm and to protect vital organs while they sleep.

One study showed that a man’s chances of getting a girl’s phone number went from 10% to 33%, just by having a dog with them.

They are the sweetest!

This prehistoric dog resembled a large Siberian Husky.

cool, right?

Did you know this?

Studies have shown that dogs can learn over 100 words and gestures, which puts their intelligence and understanding of us on a par with a two year old.

Studies have shown that petting a dog for around 15 minutes can lower your blood pressure by at least 10%, can help lower stress, depression, and combat loneliness.

Your dog’s sense of smell is about 100,000 times better than people. So it shouldn’t be a shock that they can smell things like your feelings. When you are fearful, you sweat, and a dog is easily able to pick up on this change.

Hopefully they still leave us an inch to sleep in ;)

So, not all dogs enjoy water, but the ones that do are usually pretty good swimmers.

1/3 of ALL homes around the world have a dog. These playful, friendly, amazing animals make great companions, but they can also be fierce and tough protectors, or intelligent helpers.

Dogs were the first animal domesticated (tamed) by humans! As they evolved from wolves, their skulls, teeth and paws shrank, and they became more docile and obedient.

Dogs are thought to be as smart as two-year-old children (and much easier to train!), so many owners teach them commands and tricks.

Ancient breeds like the Saluki lived in the lavish palaces of Egyptian royalty! The pampered doggos had their own servants, were decked out in jeweled collars, and ate only the finest meats.

isn't that cool?

Just like us, dogs have feelings and needs, and they have to be taken care of properly. They need regular exercise, healthy food, a clean, cosy place to sleep and lots and lots of love and affection! Make sure you and your family think carefully before you get a dog (or any pet!) to make sure you have the time and means to take one on.

Dogs heavily rely on their sense of smell to find food, potential dangers, and friends, so needless to say they sniff quite a lot. Their noses are made so smells can stay in their nose while air can move in and out of their lungs at the same time, which means they can breathe freely and still work out what that smell is!

Did you know that?

Cute, right?

Thanks to science, you can know, for a fact, that your dog loves you back. A 2015 study at Azabu University in Japan found an uptick in the level of oxytocin (sometimes known as "the love hormone") in both dogs and their owners when they stare at each other.
