Cocker and English Pointer Dogs Playing In The Garden

Let's learn about our pets!

Did you know?

▶ Dogs do not sweat by salivating. They sweat through the pads of their feet.

▶ They can locate the source of a sound in 6/100ths of a second, by using their swivelling ears like radar dishes.

▶ As dogs don't have fingerprints, each dog has a unique pattern on their nose. Few countries even take noseprints of dogs.

▶ They can see ultraviolet light, and don’t need a compass for direction because they can sense the earth’s magnetic fields.

▶ Dogs hate some things about humans. Some signs of affection we enjoy such as hugs or kissing can be annoying for dogs.
