3 Fun Facts About Your Pup |

|
1) Dogs Noses Are Wet to Help Them Absorb Chemicals |
|
|
|
Have you ever wondered why dogs' noses are almost always wet? It's because this helps them absorb scent chemicals. Dogs' noses secrete a special mucus that helps absorb these chemicals, at which point dogs lick their noses to sample them, helping them understand the smell. |

2) Why Dogs Kick Backwards After "Doing Their Business" |
|
|
|
Does your dog kick backward after relieving themselves? Simply put, dogs do this to mark their territory. Dogs have apocrine glands in their paw pads that are used to release pheromones which can be used to help mark territory. Backward kicking, also known as "scrape behavior," is an effective way for your pup to leave their sent behind. |

3) Dogs Engage in Selfless Acts of Kindness |

Last, but certainly not least, is this fun dog fact you probably already suspected. According to this study published in 2015, dogs are one of the few animals who will do things for others, even if they know they won't personally benefit from it. No wonder humans and dogs have such an amazing bond. |
