Dawg found this list on the web, and is unsure of some of it, …bit sort of made up…

#1 - A one year old dog is as mature, physically, as a 15 year old human.
Yes; and…..

#2 - The average “city dog” lives 3 years longer than “country dogs”.
How long do average “suburb dogs” live?
#3 - 87% of dog owners say their dog curls up beside them or at their feet while they watch T.V. (in an independent survey)

#4 - Dogs can be trained to detect epileptic seizures.

#5 - Three dogs survived the sinking of the Titanic - a Newfoundland, a Pomeranian, and a Pekingese.

#6 - An estimated 1,000,000 dogs in the U.S. have been named as the primary beneficiaries in their owner’s will.
Over what time? Last month? Made up hooey.
#7 - An American Animal Hospital Assoc. poll found that 33% of dog owners admit to talking to their dogs on the phone and leaving answering machine messages for them while away.
It was the Human Psychiatric wing of the Animal Hospital, so no suprise there then.
#8 - 70% of people sign their pet’s name on greeting and holiday cards and 58% put pets in family and holiday portraits.
As above, the loopy lou bit as well as the made up bit.
#9 - A dog’s smell is more than 100,000 times stronger than that of a human’s.
Well mine is 100,001 times stronger. So there wussy snouts.
#10 - Chocolate contains a substance known as theobromine (similar to caffeine) which can kill dogs or at the very least make them violently ill.
True
#11 - The longer a dog’s nose, the more effective it’s internal cooling system.
So pointers are cool dogs then?
#12 - U.S. Customs dogs “Rocky” and “Barco” were so good at patrolling the border that Mexican drug lords put a $300,000 bounty on their heads.
#13 - A dog’s heart beats up to 120 times per minute, or 50% faster than the average human heartbeat of 80 times per minute.
Mmm. Amazing. Be still my beating heart.
#14 - Dogs live 15 years on average.
I’d be suprised.
#15 - An African wolf dog known as the basenji is the only dog in the world that cannot bark.
What about the Aberiganibestani Crested Mime Dog? Huh? (bigots, pah)
#16 - Only dogs and humans have prostates.
And both get a finger up the b….

#17 - Bingo is the name of the dog on the side of the Cracker Jack box.
Losing the will to live now.
#18 - Humans have kept dogs as pets for over 12,000 years.
Exactly. They were introduced to humans by the lizards in BC9993.
#19 - A dog’s mouth exerts 150-200 pounds of pressure per square inch, with some as high as 450.

#20 - It is a myth that dogs are color blind. They can actually see in color, just not as vividly as humans. It is akin to our vision at dusk.
That is a type of color blindness.
#21 - Basset Hounds cannot swim.
Teach ‘em then.
#22 - Obesity is the #1 health problem among dogs.
Number 2 above: all those short lived FAT country dogs.
#23 - Dogs have two times as many muscles to move their ears as people.
When I move my ears as people I’ll join the circus.
#24 - Wolves and dogs can mate to produce feral offspring.
Does this explain Feral Sharkey?
