German Shepherds were among
the first dogs trained
for police work- beginning around 1900
in Ghent, Belgium.
Dogs body cells contain
the most
pairs of chromosomes (heredity- carrying structures) of any mammal- 39 pairs.
There is
an old Chinese
belief that if
a person
owns a good and faithful dog that
the dog will sacrifice itself
to Death when Death
demands a
member of its immediate family.
The most decorated U.S. dog during World War II
was a German Shepherd/Husky/ Collie mix
named Chips. He also served as a guard dog
in North America and later earned a Silver Star
for capturing a machine gun
nest during the invasion of Sicily.
Dogs have
been used to determine whether twins are
identical or
fraternal because identicals have the same scent, but fraternals
do not, no matter how much they may look alike.
The Latin word for faithful is Fido? Could
this possibly have any connection with the fact that so many dogs are named this?
If an old or sick dog does
not shake itself after getting up that this is a sign of bad
overall health? Each dog shakes itself to
get every muscle and tendon back into perfect place after waking up.
A dog can survey an area between 200 to
270 degrees,
depending on the shape of
its skull and the positioning of its eyes, compared to the average of 100 degrees for a human being.
Due to the popularity of lap dogs in ancient Rome, Julius
Caesar once mused if Roman
women had ceased to have
children in lieu of their new four-legged companions.
