A dog has made it into Guinness World Records for its massive ears!
Coonhounds are well-known for their large long ears, but one cute dog from Oregon named Lou has recently earned the title of “the longest ears of a dog still alive”! The 3-year-old Coonhound has incredible ears, measuring 34cm each! Lou has also won many awards at US dog competitions before, but the Guinness World Record is truly the crowning jewel.
Lou’s owner, a veterinarian Paige Olsen, has said that he likes to have his ears touched, even by strangers. And why wouldn’t you – just look at how adorable they are!

How well can puppies see?
It is common knowledge that puppies are born with their eyes closed. However, their eyesight starts off poor as well once they open their eyes, being at around 20/75 (normal human eyesight being 20/20). It normalizes once puppies reach 4-5 weeks.

Hachiko, the hero of love
We’ve all heard the incredibly touching story of Hachiko. An Akita Inu loyal to its owner long after his untimely demise is one of the most inspiring examples of how heroic our pets can be. What you might not know, however, is that Hachiko was one of only a few dozen purebred Akitas at the time. Its story helped bring this breed back from the grave since lots of people wanted to get a ferociously loyal Akita of their own. Can you guess how many there are nowadays?

Why do dogs’ paws smell like Fritos?
Dogs walk on lots of surfaces daily and pick up bacteria on their paws. Two types of bacteria, Pseudomonas and Proteus, when mixed with sweat and saliva from grooming cause that peculiar Fritos smell. So wash your dogs’ paws well every day!

Pekingese - an attack dog?
Pekingese may look small and innocent, but don’t be fooled by their appearance. Ancient Chinese emperors and courtiers carried them in their sleeves (hence the nickname “sleeves”) and let them loose on any attackers! It was super effective!

Why dogs don’t like rain?
Rain makes dogs uncomfortable and even scared for several reasons. First is the sound of raindrops which is irritating to dogs’ ears, not to mention thunder. Second is their sensitivity to barometric pressure which makes them feel down during bad weather.

Dogs can empathize with human emotions
Dogs are very social creatures, and thanks to spending tens of thousands of years with humans have formed a special connection with us. Our pets can not only feel empathy towards us but in some cases also act on this empathy.

Who invented spiked dog collars and why?
In Ancient Greece, farms were often subjected to attacks from wild animals. In order to prevent their guard dogs from getting their throats hurt, farmers put spikes on their collars. Not only stylish and intimidating but practical as well!

Dog noses are wet to help them smell better
Dog noses are wet because they secrete a special kind of mucus that covers the inside and outside of their nostrils. It absorbs more scent chemicals which enhances their already superb sense of smell and helps locate sources of smells!

Can dogs eat chocolate?
Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine, both of which are toxic to dogs since they can’t metabolize it effectively. Although even the slightest amount of those compounds can be harmful, the exact effect varies depending on the dog’s weight.
