    10 FASCINATING THINGS ABOUT DOGS         

Dogs are perhaps best known for being loving and loyal but they also have a bevy of lesser-known in quite fascinating traits here are 10 incredible scientific discoveries about them.

               

1.THEY HAVE THREE EYELIDS:They have three eyelids like people dogs have top and bottom ones that move up and down they also have one that originates in the corner of the eye and move side to side its purpose is for clearing mucus and debris.

2.DOGS REALLY DO LOVE THEIR HUMANS:There's scientific proof of 

it MRI scans reveal that when presented with sense of various people and canines the reward center`s of the dog's brains were most responsive to the aromas of their human companions.

3.THEY`RE JUST AS SMART AS TODDLERS:

Specially-designed IQ tests show that dog's capabilities are on par with the typical two-year-old that means they're capable of learning over 150 words and gestures.

4.DOG PAWS OFTEN SMELL LIKE SNACK FOODS:There's some 

debate as to whether the particular scent is popcorn or corn chips but either way the cause of it has been linked to a bacteria dogs pick up while walking about. 

5.CANINES POSSESS THE SUPERPOWER OF NIGHT VISION:The superpower of night vision it's not 

cat level but it's superior to the darkness navigating abilities of humans dogs pupils are larger and their central retinas have more cells dedicated to light sensitivity then to color detection that gives them an upper hand when it comes to making out objects in dim light.  

6.EVERY NOSE IS UNIQUE:The Canadian Kennel Club has been 

using nose prints as a means of individual identification since the 

1930`s and many organizations have 

followed suit. 

7.THEY MOST LIKELY DREAM:Proof isn't at the 100% 

mark but there is an abundance of support backing the claim much of it is based in brain attributes and behaviors that dogs and humans share among them are the structure and the occurrence of electrical impulses during the deep sleep stage.  

8.FUR ISN`T JUST ABOUT WARMTH IN THE SUMMER:It acts as 

insulation keeping heat from reaching the body fur also protects the skin from the sun's damaging rays.

9.THEY REALLY DO LISTEN WHEN YOU TALK:Even 

better they've been shown to understand a lot of what's being said though they're not able to decipher the words dogs can interpret certain sounds and the messages overall emotional tone. 

10.DOGS AREN`T NEARLY AS SWEATY AS HUMANS:That's 

largely because rather than having sweat glands all over the bodies as people do dogs only have them in their paws to cool off they rely mostly on panting what about dogs do you find most interesting.
