Dogs Are Fascinating Mammals To Care For As A Pet

Dogs are probably the most versatile of the domesticated animals, not only do we use dogs as pets for companionship, dogs are also used for herding animals on farms, racing in sporting events, helping as guide dogs for the blind, and many other roles in society.

But did you know:-

It is a common misconception that lots of dogs kill humans; probably about 1 dog out of 4 million will at some time kill a human.

If you have a family and are considering getting a dog, statistics show that dog bites occur more frequently in boys aged 5 to 9 than in any other category of the population.

In the United States 88 out of 100 falls attributed to pets are caused by dogs.

Dogs have the ability to recognise their owners from distances well in advance of half a mile.

Dogs have a wider scope of vision than humans.

Dogs can hear almost 4 times better than humans due to 18 muscles in their ears which allow the ear to tilt and rotate with ease and allowing them to find the source of the sound very quickly.

Dogs also have a superior sense of smell to humans, their wet noses allowing them to pick up the direction of the wind and the source of a smell far lower than humans can detect.

Some dogs have even lived in excess of 20 years old.

Unfortunately every year the number of cats and dogs that are entered into animal shelters is between 6 and 8 million. Sadly half of these never get to come back out again.

It is recommended that dogs be neutered or spayed early on as sexual maturity normally begins around the 6 to 12 months period of a dog’s birth.

Besides animals, the author also regularly gives advice on retractable badge holders and name tag holders.
