Fun Facks

A lot of people have dogs, so I did some looking around, to see what I could find out about them. Here is a summery of what I fond.

Around 15000 years ago the gray wolf was domesticated in East Asia, and reached North America around 8000 B.C. Today there are over 400 million dogs in the world. Dogs can have short, long, thin, thick, straight, curly, smooth, coarse, or no fur. The smallest dog in the world is a Yorkshire Terrier that is 63 mm at the shoulder, 95 mm in length and has a mass of only 113 g. The biggest dog in the world is an English Mastiff that is 250 cm long, and had a mass of 155.6 kg. The tallest dog in the world is a Great Dane that is 106.76 cm at the shoulder. The longer a dogs muzzle the better their senses are. Some dogs can see up to a mile, and have a 270° field of vision, compared to the 180° field of vision for humans. Dogs can hear from 40 Hz to 60000 Hz, much better than humans. Dogs have 18 muscles to move, tilt, and rotate their ears, helping them locate sounds faster. They live an average of 10 to 13 years, but small dogs usually live shorter and big dogs live longer. The longest verified lifespan for a dog is 24 years.

Poll news

Wow! A lot of people have dogs. The poll says that of the people that voted 100% have dogs, 66% have cats, 66% have fish, 33% have a reptile, 66% have something else. I will use this info to know what to type about. Next it is all about the dog.

Thank you to all the people that have voted on my polls, but I would like it if every one who goes on my blog could vote. Thank you.
