Facts About Dogs

By: Nyla Maddy and Lindsey

Domestic dogs and wolves are part of a large

taxonomic family called Canidae, which also

includes coyotes, foxes and jackals. The Canidae

family includes 14 genera and 34 species.

Also, there are over 150 kind of dog breeds in the

world and some are probably yet to be discovered!  

To add on, smaller dogs could actually live longer

than bigger dogs, but we all love are dogs the same.

Have you ever wondered how many teeth does an

adult dog and a puppy have? Well, the adult dog has

42 teeth and the puppies have 28 teeth. Man that’s a

lot of teeth!  

If you look in the photo on the left you can see a

dog but it’s not any dog; it’s a therapy dog. Your

probably thinking “does this dog talk, because i want

one.” well, sorry to break your dreams but no. He is

there because he is helping his owner and I know that

every dog is supposed to help its owner. but, a therapy

dog helps its owner by helping them if their owner is

blind or if they can’t walk or any other disabilities.

So now you know what a therapy dog does.
