Dogs are furry with whom we share everything: our joys and sorrows, travel, ... everything we can and more. However, there are a number of things that surely escape us and that will surprise us much more than we might think at first.
Proof of this are the curiosities about dogs that I am going to tell you next.
They have the intelligence of a two year old
Such a young human being has already learned about 250 gestures and words, which is a lot when you consider that the average adult uses between 800 and 1000 words. Well, if you've ever wondered why dogs get along so well with kids, here's the answer: they have a similar intelligence 🙂.
The force of the dog's bite is about 145 kilos on average
That was the result of several tests that were done with German Shepherds, Pit Bulls and Rottweilers.. That of a human 54 kilos. There we have a reason more than enough to teach him not to bite from the first day he gets home.
Your hearing is 4 times more sensitive than ours
While our ears only detect a hertz frequency of up to 23.000 cycles per second, those of dogs reach between 67 and 45 thousand. For this reason, fireworks, thunder and noise in general cause them a lot of discomfort and should be avoided.
They sweat from the pads
By having your body covered with hair, they can only sweat from the pads of their feet. In addition, on very hot days to regulate their body temperature they pant.
They drink just like cats
It may seem a bit strange, because cats are very clean when it comes to drinking while dogs ... well, not so much 🙂. But yes: both fold their tongues, aspirate the liquid, and quickly insert their tongue into their mouths.
They can see in the dark thanks to their whiskers
The whiskers of dogs fulfill the same function as that of felines: thanks them can sense changes in air currents, with which they can know what size and shape an object has for example.
We share 75% of the genetic code
Genes, what determines whether we will be a human, a tiger, or any other living being, are the basis for life. If you are a person who is passionate about dogs, you will surely be interested to know that there is 75% of all the genetic code that we share.
