Understanding Dogs

(for Humans)

Hello Humans ! I hope that I can provide you with some insight to understanding your dog-friends. We dogs are quite often seriously misunderstood. We think differently than you, we can't see in color, and we don't like those stupid doggy clothes ! So, here are some pointers....

• Dogs are basically "pack" animals. The family group is important to us. We like to be around you, in fact your acceptance of us is one of our needs. That's why we might bring you things...like...a toy, a rawhide, or even the cat from next door.
• Our body language is different than yours. Since we don't speak the same language (you humans always think we understand you) communication can be ruff.

Well, I hope that helps a little. I'll have more pointers for you in the future....please come back !
