Beyond the emotional satisfaction they give to us, they display some amazing and interesting qualities.
Dogs use their tails, whether consciously or unconsciously, to “talk” to humans, other dogs, and other animals.
If a dog is wagging his tail slowly
back and forth, and his body is
rigidly pointing in your direction,
stay out of his space.
The mucous on the surface of
a dog's nose helps him to
define a scent, as well as
helping him to determine the
direction it is coming from.
This is why dogs are trained to
sniff out drugs, human scent
and blood, insects, and even
the presence of bombs.
There are amazing true stories about
dogs that became lost or separated
from their owners and literally
crossed thousands of miles to
successfully find their owners again.
It remains a scientific mystery as to how
dogs can do this, but one theory that
has been suggested is that dogs have a
homing instinct that is sensitive to the
earth's magnetic fields.
The interesting thing is that
researchers have discovered
that if magnets are attached to
a dog's body, they lose their
sense of direction.
It has also been suggested that a dog
may be able to smell the metallic
scent given off by lightning.
If your dog is overly frightened by
storms, experts say you should
command him to sit and stay and then
reward him for staying calm with a treat.
There are also medications your
veterinarian can give you to help calm
your dog through his anxious episodes.
Dogs have proven invaluable, because
of their unique physiology, in helping
man in a number of useful ways.
An artist by profession, Miri's paintings
make a lasting keepsake of your furry
or feathered friend.
