BETTING ON DOGS
Don't bet on a dog that urinates just before a race. It's either nervous and will burn out early, or it is too full of water and will be slow.

COMPARING A DOG'S AGE TO A HUMAN'S AGE
The old rule--multiplying a dog's age by 7 to find the equivalent human age--is fallacious. A dog is able to reproduce at 1 year and has reached full growth by 2 years. To calculate a dog's age in human terms, count the first year as 15, the second year as 10, and each year after that as 5.

ASSESSING A DOG ATTACK
If a dog is charging you and barking, it is merely defending territory and will not bite. A dog that is charging and not barking is attacking you.

NAMING A DOG
If you give your dog a fancy name, it's not for your dog but for your pride. You'll end up using a nickname.

DOGS DON'T WANT REVENGE
Your dog didn't chew that up to get back at you. He really wants to all the time and he just didn't think you were looking.
