I am a dog lover, so I thought I’d pass along some fun and interesting facts about my favorite pet.

 

    •       Dogs only sweat from the bottoms of their feet; the only way they can discharge heat is by panting.

    •       Dogs have about 100 different facial expressions, most of them made with the ears.

    •       Dogs have about 10 vocal sounds.

    •       Dogs do not have an appendix.

    •       There are more than 200 different breeds of dogs.

    •       Dalmatians are born spotless: at first pure white, their spots develop as they age.

    •       Contrary to popular belief, dogs aren’t color blind; they can see shades of blue, yellow, green and gray. The color red registers on a grayscale in a dog’s vision.

    •       Most domestic dogs are capable of reaching speeds up to about nineteen miles per hour when running at full speed.
