Our dogs are perfect to us. There is nothing about them that we don’t love. But if we had to identify one single flaw about our dogs it’s probably something that isn’t even within their control. And that would be their age. While humans can live for 80 years or more, the sad reality is that our dogs’ lifespans are much shorter. And that makes us sad because it means that they won’t be around forever.  On average or dogs will live to be between the ages of 10 to 18 years. Their lifespans are also factored by their breed,

Our dogs are our best friends. We try to do everything within our power to keep them safe. But sometimes we can’t always anticipate the dangers that might be hiding in our own back yards, such as snakes. When it comes to venomous snakes, we can’t always see them coming. And unfortunately, there are occasions where our furry friends end up coming in contact with them. Surprisingly, there is scientific evidence to show that when it comes to snake bites it is out cats who are more than likely to survive, while our dogs may not.  Dr.  Bryan Fry and Christina

Dogs do all kinds of strange things. One of them is “bowing.” As dog owners, we’ve probably seen our pups do the bow when they’re feeling playful. And when it’s cute and certainly points to them wanting to have fun, there is meaning behind the gesture. If you’ve been wondering what is behind the position, then you’ll be happy to know that there is an explanation.  The bow is most commonly referred to as the “play bow” since it best expresses how they’re feeling. The bow is a common body language gesture that dogs use as communication. This playful gesture

A dog and their bone. It’s a love story as old as time. Dogs love to chew on things. Usually, it’s bones or chew toys that we buy them, sometimes it’s household items like pillows or shoes. But for the most part, we try to steer them towards bones because it’s so much better for them than our sneakers. But there are plenty of benefits for chewing on bones, as well as plenty of reasons why dogs like to chew on bones.  Some of the benefits can be nutritional value as some bones have high-calorie bone marrow in them.

Everybody loves the doggie head tilt. You know, that adorable little head cock to the side that dogs will do whenever they seem confused by something. My dog would often do her head tilt if I was talking to her with food in my hand. It was like she was confused as to why I wasn’t sharing my food, or more accurately, why I was taking so long to give her a taste of whatever I was eating. As dog owners, we’ve all seen the cuteness that is the head tilt. But what does it mean exactly? According to experts,

Dogs make the best of friends, especially when you’re a kid. We all remember our first dog and the adventures that we shared with them. It’s definitely a special feeling to have a bond with a beloved dog. That is something that we never forget, and we carry the fond memories with us for a long time. Even as an adult, I can still recall the good times that I spent with my dog. The times that we spent together were usually uneventful, but every so often she would be my partner in crime. But we never did anything too

It’s common knowledge that dogs have brown eyes. Some dogs, like Australian Shepherds or Huskies will have blue ones. But on average, all dogs have brown eyes. And they’re quite pretty too. My dad never liked to admit it, but once or twice we’d catch him singing Van Morrison’s “Brown Eyed Girl” to my dog whenever the song was on the radio. She, like many other dogs, had adorable brown eyes. But there are occasions when nature will take over and give our dogs something really special. On rare occasions, you’ll find dogs who have both blue and brown eyes

There is no better evening spent than on the couch with your dog. Their warm little bodies and sweet personalities make them the best cuddle buddies ever. It’s no wonder that we will often prefer spending time with our dogs than with other people. But have you ever noticed that when your dog decides to curl up beside you, they often contort themselves into tight little balls of fur? They’ll sometimes do a circle or two around the sofa before they plant themselves on the couch and curl up into the adorable little balls that we love to photograph. And

For as much as we know about dogs, there are still some things that are being discovered. One of the mysteries that we’re always trying to crack is to understand exactly how our dogs’ aging works – particularly when it comes to calculating their real age in human years. While there are some that say you take your dog’s age and then multiply it by seven to get their human years, that might now always be the way to do it. For one, this actually happens to be inaccurate as Jesse Grady, a veterinarian with Mississippi State University has pointed out. 

It was quite a shock for farmer Cristian Mallocci when his dog, Spelacchia, gave birth to her litter of puppies. The mixed-breed pooch gave birth to five healthy pups. The first four were all born with pristine white fur. But there was something very different about the fifth little guy. He came out all green! Mallocci, who was runs a farm in Italy with his brother-in-law, is no stranger to having dogs. He has eight of them. However, this is the first time that he’s ever witnessed a dog that was actually born green. Given the little male puppy’s vibrant
