They are curious, surprising, funny or unbelievable facts that show us how valuable and unique these animals are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Dogs are the animal species with the most breeds. The F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Cynologique Internationale has counted as many as <strong>343 breeds of dogs<\/strong>, although there may be more.<\/li><li>The African wild dogs, <strong>decide democratically when to go hunting<\/strong>. They vote by means of a kind of sneeze, exhaling air through their snouts.<\/li><li>Like humans, <strong>dogs also have baby teeth.<\/strong> They are born without teeth, but after a few weeks their first milk teeth come in. From the age of 3 months they begin to change them for permanent teeth, while humans do so from the age of 5 years.<\/li><li>Dogs have some senses that are much more developed than humans. <strong>Their sense of smell is 15 times more sensitive than ours<\/strong> and their hearing is 4 times more acute. In fact, studies confirm that <strong>dogs can detect diseases<\/strong> (such as cancer, diabetes and even Covid) by smell.<\/li><li>On the other hand, <strong>they are able to recognise far fewer colours than humans<\/strong>. It is not true that they see only in black and white. The colours they distinguish most easily are yellow and blue.<\/li><li>Puppies are born <strong>blind and deaf<\/strong>.<\/li><li>Their<strong> body temperature is higher<\/strong> than that of humans, at around 38 or 39\u00b0C.<\/li><li>Dogs can understand up to 250 different words and gestures.<\/li><li><strong>Dog muzzles<\/strong>, like human fingerprints, <strong>are unique<\/strong>. No two muzzles in the world are alike.<\/li><li>There is a<strong> unique breed of dog in the world: it doesn&#8217;t bark! <\/strong>It is the Basenji, a hunting dog of African origin.<\/li><li>Dogs <strong>sweat through their paw pads<\/strong>. Panting helps them to regulate their body temperature.<\/li><li>Dogs also &#8220;speak&#8221; with their faces. They can have <strong>up to 100 different facial expressions,<\/strong> most of them with the movement of their ears.<\/li><li>As with humans, <strong>dogs can also catch it from a yawn.<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>They relieve themselves in alignment with the Earth&#8217;s magnetic field<\/strong> (that&#8217;s why they can walk around a few times before defecating).<\/li><li>Your dog&#8217;s favourite smell\u2026 <strong>is yours<\/strong>!<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dogs are extraordinary animals.
