Dogs noses are wet to help absorb scent chemicals. Dogs can see in the dark because of the tapetum lucidum. The reason dogs curl up is because of an age-old instinct to keep themselves warm. The average lifespan of a dog is 10-14 years. The most popular breed of pet dog is the Labrador. Adult dogs have 42 teeth. On average, a dog can run around 19 miles an hour.

Puppies are born with their eyes sealed shut. They don’t open for 3 weeks.It is a myth that dogs are colour blind. They can actually see in colour, just not as vividly as us humans .
