5 Quirky Dog-Related Things That You Might Find Interesting
One of the pleasures of researching the canine and feline world are the seemingly never ending occasions when I say to myself "Well I didn't know that!" I have compiled five lesser known pieces of canine trivia that may interest you. **The Wagometer** In 2003 a canine behaviorist by the name of Dr Roger Mugford created a device known as a **Wagometer**. Dr Mugford claimed that the small device when strapped to a dog's tail could help interpret a dog's mood. An interesting article containing more details about the **wagometer** that was published in 2003 by The Evening Standard in London can be found **here** https://www.standard.co.uk/hp/front/ruff-ruff-use-the-wagometer-7285102.html **The Year Of The Dog** Those of you born in **1946**, **1958**, **1970**, **1982** and **1994** take a bow! In the Chinese zodiac you were born in the **Year Of The Dog.** You are considered, in Chinese astrological terms, to be both **loyal** and **discreet** but also **slightly temperamental**! **Do Only Male Dogs Raise A Leg To Urinate?** I know this may appear an odd question but there is an interesting answer that may surprise you... Very **dominant female dogs** also raise a leg to urinate-just not as high as male dogs. Although the above is not very common, it does happen and can occur even if the dog has been spayed. **A Dog Church Actually Exists** Stephen Huneck, a children's book author, built a **Dog Chapel** in St. Johnsbury, Vermont, USA in 2001. The inspiring story of Huneck's Dog Chapel and some great pictures of it can be found **here** https://www.dogmt.com/Dog-Chapel.html **A Lesser Known Collective Dog Group Name** When I was a boy I remember being impressed at finding out that the collective name for a group of crows is a **murder.** You may have known that little fact but did you know that the collective name for a group of Pugs is known as a **grumble**?
