1. They chew EVERYTHING!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

If you own a dog, you\u2019ll know that you can\u2019t leave your favourite shoes lying around\u2026 or else your dog will chew on them! The phrase \u2018the dog ate my homework\u2019 wasn\u2019t just invented for fun! Most canines will chew on anything they can get their jaws on.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Barking. Enough said<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"Woof! Woof! Barking is so overrated, and not to mention annoying\u2026 especially when dogs bark at nothing. Sorry, neighbours!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Dogs chase their tails<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Dogs chase their tails for all sorts of reasons, sometimes for fun, curiosity, or even because they have fleas! Who wants to spend all day chasing their own tail? Boring!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. They hog the bed<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Did you know that more than 45% of dogs sleep in their owner\u2019s bed? We\u2019re also pretty sure most dogs also hog the blankets. Move over, red Rover!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Wet nose? Eww!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"\"\" <\/strong><\/p>\n

Dogs\u2019 noses secrete a thin layer of mucous, which helps them absorb scents. This means they constantly have a wet nose. Gross!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. Watch that plate of cookies!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"\"\" <\/strong><\/p>\n

A dog\u2019s sense of smell is 10,000 \u2013 100,000 times stronger than humans\u2019, which means they can smell a plate of goodies from far away! You\u2019ve got to keep an eye on that wandering nose.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7. \u00a0Dogs see in black and white<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

While tests have shown that dogs can also pick up on shades of yellow and blue, most can only see the colours of the world in shades of grey. Life is so much duller without seeing the colours of the rainbow!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8. Dogs like their food\u2026 a little too much!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"\"\" <\/strong><\/p>\n

Obesity is the #1 health problem among our canine companions. Take that fatty!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

9. Dogs can be expensive<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"\"\" <\/strong><\/p>\n

The most expensive dog in the world, a Tibetan Mastiff, was recently bought in China for $1.5 million. OMG! <\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

10. Dogs can\u2019t eat chocolate<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"\"\" <\/strong><\/p>\n

Dogs can\u2019t eat chocolate because it contains a substance that can make our furry friends really sick. What is life without a slice of choccie?<\/p>\n
