Because dogs are so cool, I’ve included some awesome dog facts below. Hopefully these pique your interest and you can share them with everyone you talk to today!

One: Labradors are the most popular dog in the United States.

Two: Dogs see a lot better than humans at night.

Three: And they don’t see in black and white. They see in various shades of blue, gray and dark yellows.

Four: Dogs’ only sweat glands are between their paw pads.

Five: At the end of the Beatles’ song “A Day in the Life”, a high-pitched dog whistle was recorded by Paul McCartney for his sheepdog.

Six: Corgi is Welsh for “dwarf dog”.

Seven: The reason dogs curl up in a ball while they sleep, is because of an age-old instinct to keep themselves warm and to protect vital organs while they sleep.

Eight: Dalmatian puppies are born completely white and develop their spots over time.

Nine: George Lucas modeled the Ewoks from Star Wars after his family dog.

Ten: Whiskers are used as sensing devices; some dogs even use them to see if they’ll be able to fit into small spaces.

These are just a few awesome facts that I’ve discovered. I hope you share them with all your friends! And make sure to pet a few dogs when you have some free time!
