The best friend of man always

On many occasions when the man needs emotional support, his best friend not be neither his wife nor his old friend from school years, but his dog.

A study in the school of medicine at the University of Buffalo, suggests that when you feel very stressed, you should not look to your partner to help you relax, but to your dog. In the experiment, which tested how people actually fighting their emotional pressure, he was asked to 240 couples that simulate stressful situations.

Each of the male participants did mock first with his dog, then his wife and end with the two simultaneously. His heart rate and blood pressure were measured to determine stress levels. The results were striking: participants calmaron tension taking its best to hand their dogs, taking their wives.

The study concludes that a friend impartial judge who does not know, is clearly more effective in controlling psychological reactions during tense situations.

Why dogs howl when they heard a siren?

The cause could be the great similarity between the sound of a siren and a pack of wolves or wild dogs, the animals would be responding to a call to receive as from other congeners notice of its presence or any incident.

In fact, how the emergency sirens sound, repeating alternately sound at high volume and that its frequency varies from acute and severe, save some similarity with the dog howl.

Why dogs attack children

Sometimes, they do only because they are afraid, they're scared or because they feel unsafe, then consider that the best form of defence is attack. And because they have no hands, are defended with their teeth.

One of the reasons why so many children suffer from attacks by dogs, is because they behave in a manner other than that they do adults.

Small tend to be more spontaneous, more outrageous and unpredictable. Scream, scream, and generally have an attitude that puzzled reaction to these animals, more than anything else if not usually coexist with them.

So watch out for dogs of grandparents, friends, neighbours or without children. Especially when we go to his house, since we are in its territory, in which dogs take as its main task to protect it. So then, become much more susceptible.

Parents must be fully aware of this, and also let them know their children, making the following recommendations:

Never alone must tread a property guarded by a dog that is not theirs, even though you know.

Never should provoke or make a mad dog who is behind a fence or window closed. to have the opportunity, will approach the animal to attack without warning or small elderly person who is with him.

By going to a house where a dog has avoided any attitude that could be interpreted as an attack on one member of the family (to which the dog finds his flock). Pele, albeit in jest, with the children of masters, can be very dangerous. At feel responsible for them, the dog could be launched on the alleged aggressor.

Just as dangerous or more, are dogs that are tied. So we must be very careful with mistreating the love of the animal in front of it.

We must also take special care with dogs that their owners have left tied up in front of a business while they make a purchase.

Street Dogs

The first recommendation that we should expose our children, that is, if they see a dog wandering, go to your side without paying attention.

It is important to warn them that when they have something in hand, whether a cookie, ice cream, or any kind, especially food or candy, when approaching a dog hungry, it's better to throw the object edible before risk that this you take it for himself.

They should not give anything by hand, because in the case of a dog anxious, they might bite the fingers.

When skating, biking or skateboarding on the streets, we must be careful not to spend too near the dogs, has always been to keep a distance rather cautious with them.

If a dog will growl, bark or even jump over them, must strive to maintain calm, stay quiet and essentially standing.

Never should be trying to defend dog vagabond who tries to get closer, less so violent. And if the canine the traps with their feet and try to loosen no point, on the contrary, worsen the initial situation.

What to do before the aggression of a dog

A bite of a dog, is always considered a dirty wound. So, basically when this happens, you should wash the wound with soap and water or disinfectant neutral as the first instance.

If the wound too much blood, we can cover with a clean cloth and wet.

But basically in all cases, although this is minor injuries, and the sooner, we have to hit emergency, where in addition to cure it, you bring vaccines.

If necessary, then the dog will be quarantined. In the case of a vagabond dog, which probably is not vaccinated, the kennel will locate and bring the animal.

As for the injured person, which will reassure and give affection, especially if it involves a child, since it is of utmost importance that can overcome the shock, and that there is any trace of him when confronted with other animals these characteristics.

The aggressiveness of the dogs

As American researcher says Samuel Gosling, heritable traits are not as crucial to the successful conduct canine.

His studies reveal that copies of the same race may have different personalities depending on their training and the environment in which they grow.

The momentum of dogs for hunting, curiosity, defence or, more fearsome, for the attack, may be inherited or acquired. There are dogs considered dangerous potenctalmente as the doberman, rottwailer, the doge or the Argentine pit bull, whose breeding and possession are banned in Denmark and Holland.

However, although its genetic configuration are fitted with a device or a corpulent masticador enormous, educated as pets do not normally present an aggressive mood.

At the other extreme is the bulldog, an animal extremely vague that rehuye violence and exercise. The zangolotina and playful behavior is well represented by the boxer.

For his part, the German shepherd dog is a serious, obedient and good guardian, although some individuals show a tendency to irritation.
Something that also happens to small yorkshire, which despite its sporadic evil genius is a wonderful companion dog.
Interestingly a study by the Medical University of Graz in Austria, made in this region, showed that the German shepherd is the most bites.

Why dogs take the language?

Unlike humans, dogs have very few sweat glands in the skin, so you can not count on the skin perspiration to regulate their body temperature.

This function is performed by the wheezing, using the language as a radiator, then it is more common to see her off after exercising, or while resting on a hot summer day.

But is not the only reason: other causes are the usual anxiety, fear or excitement.
If the wheezing is excessive, it may be a symptom of a disease worthy of intention to: should then consult the veterinarian.

The truth about cats and dogs

They say those who understand these things as pets put names short, sound and easy to remember, type Xana, Tobi, or allusive.

Many times, how to call the dogs or cats has to do with how it looks-Mancha or Shadow are classics-to-Rebelde his personality, or his behavior-Princess-Typhoon. Bandito ...-. Sometimes also elected lamosos names of characters from history, literature, film or song.
I have a friend whose dog, an English shepherd, is called Troslky, and
another penalty as a setter, responds to the name of Shakira.

The penalty of Uruguayan writer Juan Carlos Onelti was called The biche, and in French. The Argentine Julio Cortazar also had a gala French flanelle, anclaba always escape by the roofs and sometimes crashed in a fall.
And Mary Zambrano, who came to be over twenty Gauls Je Je all races and fur, so yours should strive to find names for Rhodes: Tigra. Blanquitla. Rila, Lucia. Pelusa ...

He was also very Je cats Alian Edgar Poe, who had two that were called Cattarina and Pluto, and the writer Colette, who always lived surrounded by Minin, for those who chose names forthright and noble: Musca t. Cleopatra. Semiramis ...

Pio Baroja had a dog, Thor, who took the

But if there is a writer Je-loving animals that was Lord Byron, who turned their homes in zoos with cabaüos, the ga, eagles, ravens, hawks and even a monkey.

The English poet had many dogs, including a Swiss Mastin called Mutz and a Newfoundland named Contramaestre, his favorite, which buried with all honors in the ruins of a chapel Je the bottom of Newstead, and for which he wrote the following epitaph: "Around this place lie the remains Je who possessed beauty without vanity, strength without insolence, courage without ferocity, and all the virtues of man without his Vivian."

Council to Adopt Pets

Adoption of a Mascot, advice before adopting one:
1) the budget that implies the animal.
2) if in some moment it is planned to move of house.

Benefits of having a mascot:
Being in charge of of an animal can be beneficial because it supposes a responsibility: he/she forces to respect schedules and to have a lifestyle but varied.
For those people whose activities are limited by chronic illnesses, or for alone people, or of age that you/they are depressed or they feel useless, the presence of an animal facilitates the relationships with other people and it contributes this way to that its owner prepares of but company.
The investigators have discovered to speak and to caress a mascot it corroborates the sedative and beneficial effect of the I link that he/she settles down and it provides a sensation of security, tranquility and trust at the same time, either when leaving to go for a walk with a dog or if this he/she stays taking care of the home in their absence.
In the first childhood, the mascots are an I link with the nature, since emblem to respect other alive beings.
The fact of being in charge of of an animal foments the pride and the independence, for what is but easy to be related with the neighbor.
It is also observed that people acquire a feeling of more esteem of if same, they feel less fearful and they make but exercise when leaving to walk or to run with the dogs, improving their physical state and the stress combats.
In summary the mascots are, among other things, somebody for the one who to live, somebody to the one who to take care, somebody that doesn't question that doesn't discriminate against that doesn't condemn, somebody that loves in unconditional form.
"the one that never had a mascot will never know what is to love and to be loved."
You knew that..... it is a very frequent belief that a mature dog will be him difficult to adapt to an I move owner.
However, the mature dogs have a strong feeling of abandonment and they spread to show gratefulness that he/she translates himself in obedience and a high degree of fidelity.
The love of a mascot is not bought!

Hidatidosis

The Hidatidosis is a parasitic illness that attacks our mascots. Although it is an important illness, we can help to prevent it.
The fundamental point is that it is transmitted of the carnivores (especially the dogs), to the human being.
The parasite responsible for this illness is denominated Equinococcus Granulosus and it is a parasite of the type he had, of very small mature size, since they usually measure between 2 and 7 mm.; and in this phase he/she lives in the thin intestine of the carnivore. The man and the livestock are affected in the same way, since individuals that the Hidatidosis suffers possess the form larvaria of this he/she had (cyst hidático) in some or several of their viscera (liver, lung, et5c.) and this is what produces the clinical sintomatología in most of the cases.
The list of the dog in this illness is decisive because of parasitado being, it is the responsible one of transmitting it by means of eggs of the mature parasite that go out to the exterior with its fecal matters. How does he/she take off the parasite of the dog?
When having digestive contact with the larva form.
This is possible only ingesting viscera with the cyst of the animals with parasites (it vacates, sheep, etc.); and the most usual form that this happens, it is to give them of eating these organs without before to have cooked them correctly.
Then, what we have to make to cut the cycle of the parasite and not to have to regret the illness is this way:
1 - to remove parasites to our dogs every three months in a routine way with the appropriate drugs that are sold in the veterinary ones.
2 - not to give them of eating any achura (viscera) raw or not well cooked our canine mascots.
3 - in the event of playing an unknown dog to the own one, then to be washed the hands correctly (especially before taking us foods to the mouth).
4 - the caution should also be taken of washing all the vegetables that are taken to the table well.
