"The gray ghost" could only refer to one breed, and that of course, is the Weimaraner. The distinctive color of the Weimaraner's short, sleek coat is unlike the color of any other dog. With the gray coat and stealthy style of hunting, you might just think you're seeing a ghost walking around in the forest. The "King of Terriers," refers to the largest of the terriers, the Airedale. Airedales live up to this nickname with their sturdy, athletic bodies, and also with their personalities. Airedale Terriers are intelligent, self-assured, and courageous. They are incomparable companions for those who own them. It's no surprise that the Basenji is also referred to as "the barkless dog." The Basenji is known for his ability to yodel, as well as make a range of other sounds including growls, crows, and howls. The Basenji is independent-natured, smart, and alert. Multum in parvo" means a lot of dog in a small space, which could only be the nickname of the charming, loving, and mischievous Pug. Pugs may be small, but they're recognized for their incredible personalities. Pugs are even-tempered, playful, outgoing, and have endless curiosity. One of the most important of the Greek gods, Apollo ranks highly in much of ancient Greek literature and culture. The "Apollo of dogs" is none other than one of the biggest dogs around, the Great Dane. The Great Dane is legendary for his size and for his power, as well. This breed has an elegant, regal appearance and a spirited, courageous, and sensitive nature. The "butterfly dog" refers to the Papillon, and the name literally means butterfly in French. The Papillon got its name from its ears. The breed's ears are always carried erect and spread like the wings of a butterfly. The Papillon is happy, outgoing, alert, and an excellent companion. The American gentleman among dogs is none other than the Boston Terrier. The breed is nicknamed as such because of its characteristically gentle disposition. It is also an American-made dog, created from a combination of Bulldogs and White English Terriers. The nickname "Dutch barge dog" refers to the Keeshond's historical roots. Keeshonden evolved in Holland, where they were known as barge dogs and used to patrol barges, riverboats, and farms. Now, these friendly, lively, and outgoing dogs make great watchdogs, companions, and dog sport competitors. |

Milk is a safe treat in small quantities. A few tablespoons of cow's milk or goat's milk on an occasional basis can be a nice reward for your dog without the side effects of overindulgence. But, you should probably hold off on offering your dog an entire bowl in one sitting, as it can cause unpleasant reactions, including diarrhea, vomiting, and loose stools. The beverage is high in fat and natural sugars, which is another reason to feed it to your pup in small quantities. Too much fat in your dog's diet can lead to obesity and pancreatitis, which are serious conditions. Lactose Intolerance in Dogs Dairy products are a leading source of food intolerance in dogs, and many canines are lactose intolerant, which means they have difficulty digesting milk. Some lactose intolerant dogs have trouble drinking milk, but can handle dairy products like cheese and plain yogurt, which are typically easier to digest than straight milk. Others have adverse reactions to dairy in general. How to Tell If Your Dog Is Lactose Intolerant Dogs can have varying degrees of lactose intolerance; some might experience only mild symptoms, while other cases may be more severe. The most common symptoms are: Loose stools Gas Vomiting Abdominal pain Diarrhea Many owners don't find out that their dogs are lactose intolerant until they feed them milk. Trying to determine if your dog is lactose intolerant can also be tricky if your pup has consumed a large amount of milk, as this can also trigger vomiting and diarrhea in dogs that are not lactose intolerant. However, if your dog shows signs of these symptoms after drinking a small amount of milk, you should find a different treat. |

25. A recent study shows that dogs are among a small group of animals who show voluntary unselfish kindness towards others without any reward. That's pretty neat! I've heard that rats fit that category too. They did a study where one rat was trapped in a small tube. Another rat was left to roam free, with access to a switch that would free the trapped rat, as well as a small pile of food. The rat generally chose to free their fellow rat first and then share the food, instead of eating all the food by themselves. |
