Funny Facts About Dogs
Canines are color blind, but they don't see in black and white. Instead, they
only have two color receptors (humans have three) and see in combinations
of blue and yellow.
Just like a fingerprint, each dog's nose has a unique pattern of creases and
ridges, and no two snoots are the same. In fact, some kennel clubs use nose
prints as a form of identification!
Canines have three eyelids: the upper, the lower, and one off to the inside
along the snout known as the nictitating eyelid. This eyelid serves three
purposes—to protect the cornea from harsh weather, to produce tears, and as
lymphoid tissue related to immune function.
