I found the trivia fact about the dog’s ear and blowing into very interesting. I’ve seen people do this and dogs do react to it in a negative way.

Very interesting about how dogs mark their territory. I did know that, but didn’t realize other dogs could tell so much from the mark.

Anyone who blows in their dogs ear shouldn’t be allowed to own a dog. It is excruitiatingly painful for them. Great trivia. I hope you will write more dog trivia. People need to be educated. How about something on larger breeds, which most people have little knowledge of?
