Five Fun Dog Facts About Your Dog's Ears


1. You can detect what mood a dog is in by the way their ears are pointing. Ears going up and front facing indicate your pup is focused. Ears slanted slightly back suggest friendliness and happiness and ears flattened down onto your pup’s head means fear or nervousness.

2. Even at the night, the earth's quietest time,  it is still  largely vociferous for dogs. They can hear the high-frequency pulse of the crystal resonator used in digital alarm clocks and bodily vibrations of termites in the walls.

3. Your dog’s ears can maneuver freely from one another.

4. The world record title for longest ears belongs to a bloodhound named Tigger in Illinois. His right ear measures 13.75 inches and hs left is 13.5 inches. The logic for these dogs having such long ears is to assist their powerful noses by directing scents.

5. Dogs use twice as many muscles to operate their ears as humans and their hearing is greater than 10 times more accurate.
