    Hey friends, do you know that the dog is an amazing animal? They have many uniqe facts and uniqe stories. In this part, I will share everything about the unique facts of dog. You can believe them or not about, but it's amazing!!!

  1. All dogs can be traced back 40 million years ago to an animal called the Miacis that lived in trees and wild animal's place. The Miacis later turned into the Tomarctus, a direct relative of the genus Canis, which includes the wolf and jackal as well as the dog.
  2. Ancient Egyptians treat their dogs respectively. When a pet dog would die, the owners shaved off their eyebrows, spread the mud in their hair, and cried it aloud for days.
  3. A dog’s shoulder are separated from the rest of the skeleton to allow flexibility for running.
  4. Puppies are sometimes rejected by their mother if they are born by cesarean and cleaned up before being given back to her.
  5. The phrase “raining cats and dogs” originated in seventeenth-century England. During heavy rainstorms, many homeless animals would drown and float down the streets, giving the appearance that it had actually rained cats and dogs.
  6. During the Middle Ages, Great Danes and Mastiffs were sometimes suited with armor and spiked collars to enter a battle or to defend supply caravans.
  7. Pekingese and Japanese Chins were so important in the ancient Far East that they had their own servants and were carried around trade routes as gifts for kings and emperors. Pekingese were even worshipped in the temples of China for centuries.
  8. After the fall of Rome, human survival often became more important than breeding and training dogs. Legends of werewolves emerged during this time as abandoned dogs traveling in packs commonly roamed streets and terrified villagers.
  9. During the Middle Ages, mixed breeds of peasants’ dogs were required to wear blocks around their necks to keep them from breeding with noble hunting dogs. Purebred dogs were very expensive and hunting became the province of the rich.
  10. The shape of a dog’s face suggests how long it will live. Dogs with sharp, pointed faces that look more like wolves typically live longer. Dogs with very flat faces, such as bulldogs, often have shorter lives.
