The Dog Who Showed Me What I Love “Whoever said that diamonds are a girls best friend never had a dog -anon” Most people probably don’t find there passion through a dog, however I did. I met stella when I was - years old and in - grade. It was around 2:30 in the afternoon and I had just gotten home from school. It was one of the hottest days I had seen. Sweat slowly rolled of the tip of my nose and landed in a big puddle on my shirt. I decided since it was to hot to do anything without being miserable I would simply take a long cat nap. As I was asleep my mom and my moms best friends son, Devin sneaked into the room as quiet as mice or maybe not, after all I am a very heavy sleeper. I started to feel cold wet slobber being smeared on my face I simply ignored this feeling and wiped my face with the smooth backside of my hand I had figured it was my yellow lab Banjo because he did this every morning to wake me up. As I slowly drifted back to sleep I started to feel little tiny claws digging into my back they felt like rain drops hitting me. As I started to yell “Banjo!” I heard the yips of a small puppy however Banjo was grown by this time. I turned around and opened my eyes and there she was with her face much to big for her body and her little tail wagging all over the place. She was one of the cutest puppies I had ever seen.

Paw Preference in Pets Research Kamila Filimonova Dogs, like humans have a preferred paw to use while we are either left-handed or right-handed.

WHATISTHE RECOMMENDED SPACE BETWEEN DOGS COLLAR AND NECK Tightness. When fitting a collar, slip a couple of fingers between it and the dog's neck. A space of less than two fingers means the collar is too tight and can restrict breathing; a collar that's too big could slip off over the dog's head. WHAT IS A GREYHOND COLLAR Greyhounds have heads that are smaller than their necks and can easily slip out of a standard non-martingale dog collar. Martingale Collars are often called Greyhound Collars…

Though the collar tightens with a tug of the leash, there is a stopping mechanism to prevent complete closure on the neck. These collars are available in a variety of colors and designs. The collars are especially suited for Greyhound or sighthounds, but can be uses on most dog breeds. The collar consists of a length of material with a metal ring at each end. A separate loop of material passes through the two rings. The leash fastens to a ring on this loop. When your dog tries to back out of…

dogs genetically diverged from their wolf ancestors at least 15,000 years ago,[35][36][37][38][39] but some believe domestication to have occurred earlier.[28] Evidence is accruing that there were previous domestication events, but that those lineages died out.[40] It is not known whether humans domesticated the wolf as such to initiate dog's divergence from its ancestors, or whether dog's evolutionary path had already taken a different course prior to domestication. For example, it is…
