• Dogs' sense of direction is influenced by the Earth's magnetic field – They instinctively align themselves north-south when pooping!

• Dogs can detect electrical activity from storms before humans hear thunder – That’s why they get anxious before a storm.

• Dogs can be trained to detect bed bugs, termites, and even gas leaks – Their noses are more reliable than machines in some cases.

• Dogs sometimes "smile" when they’re happy – This is different from an aggressive baring of teeth.

• Dogs prefer sleeping near their owners for safety and comfort – It’s a pack instinct.
