Despite the fact that the life of man and dog together has been going on for many decades, all the secrets of the canine tribe have not yet been revealed.
However, there are plenty of myths about dogs, so we will quickly dispel the most common ones.
Black and white world
Although our smaller brothers' eyes are not able to distinguish as many shades of gray as humans, this does not mean that dogs see the world in black and white.
Dogs are able not only to see objects around them in color, but even to navigate well in the twilight. They even cross the road when the traffic light is green. However, green is white for dogs, and red is black.
Happy Tail
For some reason, it is generally accepted that a dog wagging its tail is expressing its joy.
However, not everything is so clear. To determine the dog's mood, it is worth paying attention to the position of the tail.
If it is low, your pet is anxious, the tail is in the middle position - a sign of greeting, and only a high tail expresses joy.
Dry nose
Don't rush to draw conclusions about your pet's health based on its dry nose alone.
The fact is that with age, many animals' mucous membranes become drier. The same can be said about the period after sleep. This indicator is affected, among other things, by the weather and even dehydration.
But you should visit a veterinarian when there are other signs of illness.
