Despite the long coexistence of humans and dogs, our information about our devoted companions remains incomplete.

Our faithful pets in the past led the free life of wild animals, and therefore they have certain instincts.

Experts have highlighted several interesting facts about dogs:

• Everyone knows that a healthy dog’s nose should be cold and wet. But why did nature conceive this? The answer is simple: so that the animal can determine the direction of the wind.
• Few people are aware of how sensitive dogs are to our emotions. Our faithful friends perfectly distinguish joy from sadness, laughter from tears. When they see that we are sad, they try to cheer us up.
• Another amazing feature of dogs is their unique way of identification: if for humans it is fingers, then for dogs it is nose.
• There are more than 700 dog breeds recognized in the world.
• Dogs can actually sense the presence of certain diseases in their owners, most often cancer.
• Scientific research shows that responsible dog owners are less likely to suffer from heart disease and obesity.
• Dogs treat their owners with the same warmth and devotion as small children treat their parents.
