Summary
Dogs are adorably cute and loving. For most dog
parents, theyre no less than the family. These
furry animals have been there for thousands of
years as best companions for humans. But how much
do we know about them? Do we know everything?
Absolutely NO! There is a lot to perceive about
these genius creatures. So, we have put together
some interesting facts about canine friends that
every dog lover should know.

A newly born dog cant see or hear.
Dogs (puppies) are born deaf and blind. They
neither can see nor can they hear anything until
they reach the age of two weeks. In fact,
they dont even open their eyes until then.
Interestingly, newborn dogs use their olfactory
system (sense of smell) to recognize their mother
dog.
5
Puppies sleep for about 18-20 hours a day.
Just the way infants do, a puppy on average
sleeps for about 12-14 hours a day. To support
the development of their critical organs like the
heart and brain, younger puppies need
approximately 18-20 hours of sleep. At the age of
one year, puppies reach their adult stage and get
into the sleeping habit of an adult dog, which is
about 8-12 hours a day.
6
The first sense a dog develops is the touch.
Once a puppy is born, the mother dog cleans the
baby dog by licking and nudging. This way puppys
nerve endings get energized and blood starts
flowing throughout their body. This is how the
touch helps a puppy bond with its mother. This
helps them develop stronger social connections as
they grow.
7
Dogs sniffing senses are 10000 to 100000 times
superior than those of humans.
Canines carry about 250-300 million olfactory
receptors with approximately 160-180 cm2 of
epithelial surface area compared to 6-10 cm2 in
the human nasal cavity. A dogs brain analyses
odors approximately 35-40 times more than that of
a human being. This is the reason dogs are used
for various criminal and military
investigations.
8
Dogs can smell and breathe at the same time.

• Dogs depend on their olfactory sense to look for
  food, alert themselves to possible threats, and
  recognize friends or close ones. Their muzzles
  are structured in such a way that all kinds of
  scents can linger in their nostrils and air can
  move in and out of their lungs simultaneously. As
  a result, dogs can smell things around them and
  breathe at one time.
• Quick facts about Dogs
• Dogs carry about 18 or more muscles in their
  ears.
• Every dog has a nose with a unique pattern.
• Dogs are as intelligent as a two-year-old child
  and can learn up to 250 words.
• Canines can dream like humans.
• Patting a dog can lower blood pressure in both
  dogs and humans.
• Dogs carry about 1500 to 1700 taste buds.

Dogs are quick on their feet.
Most dogs can effortlessly race humans out on any
given day. Their physique is constructively built
for running. It is worth knowing that the
swiftest dog breed on earth is Greyhounds with
the fastest speed of approximately 45-50 miles
per hour and it only takes them a few seconds to
reach it once they start to run. Interestingly,
Labrador retriever, Siberian husky, and Dalmatian
dog breeds can run for distances with a
consistent speed of about 12-15 miles per hour.
10
Dogs possess incredible hearing senses.
Once a puppy grows and its senses are developed,
it can hear about four times the distance as
compared to humans. Unlike humans, dogs can catch
high-frequency sounds. Dogs can recognize sounds
in the frequency range of about 65 to 45,000 Hz,
whereas humans detect sounds in the range from
approximately 61 to 23,000 Hz. Dogs can detect
sounds of approximately 30,000 vibrations every
second. They can close their inner ear to be able
to refine disturbing sounds.
11
You cant mask your sentiments from dogs.
Dogs olfactory senses are capable of detecting
adrenaline. They can recognize your moments of
anxiety, fear, and sorrow. When we are high with
emotions (in anxiety or fear), blood quickly
flows to the heart resulting in increased heart
rate. This results in a flow of energy to the
bodys surface. Dogs use this sense of energy to
determine your emotional state. So you may
successfully deceive your friends, hiding your
anxious moments with that plastic smile, but your
four-legged companion senses your emotional highs
and lows even when you are not expressive.
12
Dogs fall in love.
When we are captivated by someone, our brain lets
the dopamine out and the serotonin level rises,
resulting in the production of oxytocin. Remember
those butterflies you feel in your stomach and
the tingling sensation that runs through top to
toe when you feel a certain way believe it or
not, thats love and dogs go through the same
emotions too they feel this for both humans as
well as for other dogs. They may not be able to
put their emotions into words but show love their
own way when they gaze into your eyes rub their
face on you make all kinds of faces or cuddle
with you.
