the dogs brain

the dogs brain is located as if it was a humans brain. the dogs brain is located directly behind the eyes of the canine. dogs are fairly smart creatures any you may think "but how? my furry friend spends half the time chasing his own tail!" the answer to that is that a dog may not grow past the brain age of a 3-year-old toddler. but saying that some dogs can be trained to put your slippers on and turn the focit on to your bath...

-- tub the answer is simple. pattern. you may have heard the saying monkey see monkey do. the same may occur with your furry canine the brain develops a pattern as a matter as a fact does your dog sleep in your room with you? if so then do you have an alarm set to get up every morning and let him/her to use the bathroom. after a whial of the same routine your dog may start getting up when he/she hears the alarm without you even calling there name. that's the patter developed. though dogs don't have a cence of time they sure know when they need to use the bathroom!

torso

image a dog without its head, legs, or tail! all that would be left of the dog would be its torso [to-r-so] the torso of the dog is the 2nd most important part for the dog to live it caries all but one organ. can you guess what that one is? if you thought the brain you are correct! the heart lungs intestine kidneys rib cadge and all of that kind of stuff

legs

did you know a dog can be without all of its legs and still be alive with a happy lifestyle? a dogs legs enable a dog to walk run even trot like a horse. without the legs a dog would need a "doggy wheelchair" fake legs just so it can walk/stand right. the structure of the legs come different each breed you get a Shepherd cant have a bulldog legs you know :p

tail

there's not a lot to the dogs tail to explain. but, there is a few cool facts to learn, a dogs tail is a little extra piece of spine left over. what's a tail for? you may ask. for dogs like the Labrador the tail can be used for swimming but for other dog It's just to chase :)
