2. Dogs Can Breathe And Sniff Simultaneously

Dogs smell a lot because they rely heavily on their sense of smell to detect food, potential threats, and friends. Because their noses are designed to allow odors to stay in them while air may enter and exit their lungs simultaneously, they may breathe normally and still identify what that smell is.

3. Some Dogs Are Excellent Swimmers

Although not all dogs enjoy being in the water, those that do typically have excellent swimming abilities.

4. Dogs' Paws Are Either Left- or Right-Handed

Dogs, like humans, have a preferred hand (or paw, actually) to lead with, according to a few studies on the topic. You can tell if your dog is left- or right-pawed by giving them their favorite toy or interactive activity and watching which paw they use to help them first.

 
5. In Addition to Their Noses, They Have Extremely Sensitive Hearing

We all know that dogs have considerably greater hearing sensitivities than humans, but did you realize they also have a wider hearing range? Dogs often have far softer hearing than humans do, allowing them to hear things that are much further away.

 
6. Dogs Are About as Intelligent as a Two-Year-Old

According to studies, dogs are as intelligent and clever as a two-year-old since they can pick up over 100 phrases and gestures. On the other hand, teaching dogs is much easier than teaching a two-year-old! They are intelligent and devoted animals that are used for a variety of tasks, including military and assistance dog roles.

 
7. There are Several Reasons Why Dogs Lick People and Other Canines

Puppies frequently lick their mothers or owners as a sign of affection or hunger. Adults utilize licking as a sign of respect for a superior. As a result, if your dog licks you, it's usually because they want food or attention.

8. Dogs Also Feel Better After Licking

Your dog's anxiousness is decreased and calmed when they lick your face. However, if a dog is continuously licking itself, it may be bored or have a skin condition that needs to be examined by a vet.

 
9. Dogs Are Aware of The Power of "Puppy Eyes."

In a 2017 study, it was discovered that when dogs are aware that people are watching, they produce dramatic facial expressions and raise their eyebrows to make "puppy eyes" and other expressions. Dogs at shelters have picked up on this tactic as well; puppies who use it tend to find homes more quickly than those who exhibit other habits, including wagging their tails.

13. Dogs Dig to Escape The Heat

Finding a fresh layer of dirt that has not been exposed to the heat is a simple way to cool itself when stranded on an open lawn with little to no shade.

 
14. Dog Tails Speak a Unique Language

The length of a dog's tail can reveal a lot about its mood. However, a happy pup isn't necessarily indicated by a wagging tail. The dog's loose, side-to-side wag indicates that it is pleasing and at ease. Hip movements and more fervent tail waving indicate happiness or greetings from a loved one. Straight up indicates confidence or assertiveness, whereas the tail curled between the legs typically shows fear or submission.

 
15. Some Dogs Retain Their Puppy-Like Appearance Throughout Their Lives

Pituitary dwarfism can occur in some dogs, although it's uncommon. As a result, the dogs maintain their puppy-like appearance and size throughout their entire life. Although they have a cute teddy bear appearance due to this illness, it has a number of negative health effects.
