10 Things You Might Not Know About Dogs..

4 If never spayed or neutered, a female dog, her mate, and their puppies could product over 66,000 dogs in 6 years!

5 Dogs' only sweat glands are between their paw pads

6 Like human babies, Chihuahuas are born with a soft spot in their skull which closes with age

7 The breed Lundehune has 6 toes and can close its ears

8 Teddy Roosevelt's dog, Pete, ripped a French ambassador's pants off at the White House

9 President Lyndon Johnson had two beagles named Him and Her

10 Franklin Roosevelt spent $15,000 for a destroyer to pick up his Scottie in the Aleutian Islands
