Jessie, taking a break from an unseaonably warm winter’s day: Even though I would much rather be lounging in the embrace of the warm and happy sun today, I am taking a quick break to share some more amazing dog facts with you. After all, we dogs ARE amazing…even if I do say so myself.

Did you know…

• The Greyhound is the fastest dog on earth. That puppy can reach speeds of up to 45 miles per hour for short periods of time! Even on a bicycle, you’d be eating his dust!
• The Irish Wolfhound is the largest dog. With wolf in the name, who am I to argue with that declaration?
• The Great Dane is the tallest dog. Remember to look up to these fellows…literally!
• The Chihuahua is the smallest dog….but check out his personality! Tall order!
• The heaviest dog?  The St. Bernard!
• The world’s oldest dog was an Australian cattle-dog named Bluey who died at age 29 years and five months!  Holy Cow…I mean, Holy Dog!
• The world’s coolest dog? Need you ask?

(Thanks to dog-names.org.uk for this great info. Thanks to me for reminding you about that last fact!)
