Greyhounds are not only champion sprinters of the canine world, but also excellent pets: gentle, noble and good-natured, but at the same time with an independent spirit. However, many representatives of this breed, which are bred to participate in dog racing, are often injured and even killed.
Rescued Puppy Owner Creates a TikTok Account About Canine Psychology
Fortunately, the puppy, which will be discussed, escaped a similar fate.
Millie was adopted after a dog race in 2018, owner Taylor Huerta said. Now Milly is in a loving family and has everything necessary for a happy life.
To draw attention to the breed, Taylor created her pet's TikTok and Instagram accounts. According to her, Millie's content is designed to educate, entertain and attract followers. "From psychology facts to tips for reducing anxiety in dogs, Millie's content is useful to all dog lovers in the world."
The information Taylor shares allows us to understand dog behavior on a much deeper level.
Meet Milly, the greyhound who was rescued from a dog race in 2018
1. Lean
Whenever your dog leans on you and shifts the entire weight of his body onto you, he is letting you know that he wants to hug you and tell you that he loves you.
2. Zoomies
Zoomies are short bursts of energy that your dog just can't seem to control. Researchers have found that only happy, healthy dogs get zooms. So if your dog zooms, then you are doing everything right.
3. Eye contact
Whenever your dog stares into your eyes right before going big, it means he feels vulnerable and trusts you to look after him.
4. Sneeze
Dogs actually sneeze when they play fight to show that they are just playing and don't really want to hurt you.
5. Yawning
A yawn is not exactly the same as a human yawn. Dogs yawn to reduce stress and anxiety, which helps them calm down and feel comfortable.
6. Dogs have best friends
Researchers have found that dogs have a best friend. Dogs love people and other animals, but any dog owner can attest that they have one true best friend. They are devoted to one thing - the owner of the dog.
7. Dogs can fall in love
When a dog looks at his best friend and owner, his brain releases the hormone oxytocin, better known as the love hormone.
8. Posture in a dream
When dogs sleep, as if buried in a hole, they seek comfort and safety. They often need a lot of attention and affection to fall asleep.
9. Cuddle
If your dog sleeps cuddled with you, it means he trusts you and sees you as one of the other dogs.
10. The smell of your crotch
If your dog sniffs your crotch, he is testing your health and mood. Dogs use their sense of smell to read details and their surroundings. So your dog is just checking to see if you're okay.
11. Sleep on your side
If your dog sleeps on his side with his legs outstretched, it means he feels safe, relaxed, and at a comfortable temperature.
12. Sleep a lot
Healthy and happy adult dogs usually sleep up to 16 hours a night. If your dog doesn't get enough sleep, it could be a sign of stress.
13. Soft eyes
When the dog is happy, his eyes will be of a normal soft shape. The look will be relaxed and gentle, and she will blink frequently.
14. Lick when it hurts
If you get a cut and your dog tries to lick it, it's because your dog's saliva contains antibacterial compounds. So when she tries to lick your cut, she is trying to help your wound heal faster.
15. Bagel is the most common sleeping position for dogs.
This position they take to conserve body heat and protect its vital parts. This is also a favorite position for dogs when they have a cold.
16. Delighted when you get home
When you get home, does your dog dance a little or run around like crazy? A cheerful, noisy tail-wagging greeting is one of the surest signs that you and your dog have a strong bond, researchers say.
17. Dragging food, treats, toys
If your dog has a habit of carrying food from one place to another, don't worry. This is normal behavior. Dogs do this to protect their valuables from being stolen.
18. Looking straight ahead
You may feel guilty when you catch a dog staring at you before leaving the house. But fear not, her calmness is a sign that she trusts you and knows that you will return.
19. Up belly
A happy dog will roll onto its back and expose its stomach to you. This is a sign that she is happy and trusts you. In fact, the dog initiates physical contact, such as poking you, laying his head on your arm, or pulling you, expressing his happiness and his desire to be with you.
20. Sleep on your clothes
If your dog sleeps on your clothes, it means he loves you. Your clothes have your scent on them and she just wants to be close to you.
21. Back foot kick
If your dog kicks with his back foot after going to the bathroom, he is doing it to mark his territory with scent glands on his legs.
22. Tilt your head
When your dog tilts its head to look at you, it is because it is trying to read your body language and analyzes your tone of voice.
23. Dogs think humans can't be wrong.
So if you accidentally step on your dog's paw in the middle of the night, chances are he'll think it was on purpose.
24. Attachment without food
After your dog has eaten, watch what he does. Studies have shown that dogs that come straight to you after a meal show clear signs that they love you. They are not motivated by food or treats, they just show affection because they enjoy being around you.
25. Superman sleeping position
The Superman Pose allows your dog to get up quickly, indicating that he is just napping. It also means that she is in a playful mood and would like you to play with her.
26. Sense of timing
Researchers have proven that dogs know the difference between one and five o'clock. If trained, they can predict future events such as regular walking signs and feeding schedules.
27. Sleep with you
Researchers have found that if your dog prefers to sleep next to you, it means he trusts you more than anyone else. Scientists have found that sleeping with your dog helps you sleep better during the night and reduces overall stress levels.
28. Roll on the grass
Dogs roll on the grass for the same reason children do. It is soft, smells good and helps release energy.
29. Dreams
Researchers have found that all dogs dream, but puppies and older dogs dream more often than adult dogs.
Dogs are among the most intelligent animals on the planet. Scientists study their mental abilities, and scientific papers and books are written about them. Until now, new breeds are being bred, some of which are distinguished by highly advanced thinking.
Trainers named the most intelligent dog breeds
Of course, like people, dogs (even of the same breed) can be endowed with mental abilities differently; some are better, and others are worse.
However, trainers and breeders have long figured out which breeds, on average, will stand out in intelligence from their other relatives. According to researchers, we have selected the top 30 most intelligent dog breeds. Perhaps one of them will become your faithful friend and companion from the animal world for many years.
1. English Springer Spaniel
Another interesting breed from the list of dogs with the highest intelligence. His profession is to frighten away game under the hunter's shot.
The typical spaniel is friendly, well-trained, and ready to obey its owners. He is also maximally attached to his master, so that he can be recommended as a companion dog.
The breed was bred in the UK.
2. Golden Retriever
Another of the most famous types of hunting dogs is considered to be golden or golden retrievers.
The Golden Retriever was bred in the 19th century, and for many who are not involved in dog breeding, it remains a mystery how this sweet, immensely kind dog can be a hunting dog. But this is not unusual, as this versatile hunting dog is mainly used to bring in dead game, usually birds.
Since the dog must carry the prey without damaging it, it must grab it gently and carefully. Therefore, these beauties do not have any bloody inclinations and cannot be. But ingenuity and intelligence are present in total.
No wonder it is often used as a guide dog, rescuer, and a good companion.
The breed was bred in the UK.
3. Puli
An old breed of dog that you want to take to the barbershop. Although the "dreadlocks" even suit her.
But, as they say, they are greeted by clothes, but the mind escorts them. And the reason, breeders say, this breed does not hold!
The breed was bred in Hungary.
4. Doberman Pinscher
Another German breed comes from the 1890s. Due to a misunderstanding, many people consider her stupid and aggressive. Still, everything will depend on socialization and training, which will help to reveal the subtleties of the mind and quick wits.
In general, I would like to note that there are no “stupid” breeds of dogs; more often, this is a consequence of the stupidity of people and the wrong upbringing of a pet.
Remember, at least the outbred mongrels. Can someone who has encountered them at least once in their life say that this is a dog devoid of intelligence? On the contrary, he is a model of ingenuity and devotion. And dogs become biting, as you know, only from a dog's life.
The breed was bred in Germany.
5. German Shepherd
The fact that the German Shepherd should be at the top of the "smartest dogs" is evidenced by the fact that it was around this dog breed that the famous TV series "Commissioner Rex" was built.
And even though what is happening in the series in terms of the behavior of a cynological dog is mostly fiction, and the roles of Rex were played by more than five dogs (each was trained for specific actions), the main thing is different. Namely, the fact that the series' creators drew attention to this particular breed is not the least because of its mental abilities. It would be challenging to shoot a dog that does not want to obey commands in the frame.
The breed was bred in Germany.
6. Collie
Another dog breed is the film actor (remember the famous Lassie?). As with the shepherd dog, collies are extremely intelligent, but like many other dogs, they need to be handled, trained, allowed to run well, and cheered in every possible way.
Dogs of this breed are very mobile, able to understand the owner's emotions, and extremely kind.
The breed originated in Scotland and Northern England.
7. Poodle (standard or large)
The poodle can be seen from afar, and it is clear that he comes from France. But don't be fooled by its windy looks. Professional dog breeders love this extremely inquisitive breed for its learning opportunities. Dogs of this breed are easy and exciting to learn and do not require undue effort.
No wonder the poodle Artemon was introduced into the fairy tale by Alexei Tolstoy, "The Golden Key, or the Adventures of Pinocchio," because he gained fame as a magnificent circus capable of doing tricks that are beyond the control of almost any other breed of dog.
The breed was bred in France.
8. Dachshund
Color, muzzle, characteristic chest wheel... it is easy to determine that this dog is German. And like many "Germans," - she is smart and has a confident, strong character.
The breed was bred in Germany.
9. Bernese Mountain Dog
Another shepherd dog. Is it necessary to say that outstanding mental abilities distinguish the handsome man?
The breed originated in Switzerland.
10. Labrador Retriever
Like the Golden Retriever, the Labrador Retriever has all the same positive qualities as its relative (the breeds share the same ancestors). The specialization of a gun dog-addled mind.
A devoted companion who can understand you better than many people.
The breed originated in Canada.

11. Belgian Shepherd (Tervuren)
Combines two intelligent breeds presented in the list - a shepherd dog and a shepherd dog. Do I need to say that this guy is a born intellectual?
The breed was bred in Belgium.
12. Pomeranian
And what, what is decorative, funny, and small? Intelligence does not directly depend on the volume of the brain; it depends on the number of convolutions ...
The breed was bred in Germany.
13. Vizsla
Vizsla, another Hungarian dog on our list, is a hunting dog breed first officially mentioned in 1357. This breed's lively, soft, intelligent, and sensual nature makes them excellent companions and family pets.
But they cannot do without training - only mental stress can reveal this diamond's facets.
The breed was bred in Hungary.
14. Keeshond
The Keeshond, a breed native to Holland, has close ties to the German Spitz. It is also called the "German Wolfspitz."
The breed is larger than the Spitz but also has a highly balanced disposition and a sharp mind, so much so that it can self-learn complicated logical tricks.
The breed was bred in Holland.
15. Miniature Schnauzer
Despite the somewhat offensive nickname that became the breed's name, the miniature schnauzer can be translated as "horse gnome" With a funny look and small size, it is a severe dog, fearless, sensitive, attentive, easily trained, and devoted to the owner.
The breed was bred in Germany.
16. Australian Shepherd
A handsome man with the muzzle of a thinker. The owners note one fascinating character trait of these dogs - they are hardworking. And that's the kind of thing that's a by-product of the mind.
The breed was bred in the USA.
17. Border Collie
The Border Collie is a herding breed of dog. Like many representatives of this branch, border collies are not only able to cope well with logical tasks but also know how to unquestioningly obey human commands and work autonomously (subject to proper training) with other animals, but they are also distinguished by endurance, kindness, and courage since trained for centuries to protect the weaker from predators and outsiders.
The breed was bred on the border of Scotland and England.
18. Schipperke
Like many guard dogs (yes, this kid is used for these purposes because of such a character), the Schipperke often has to solve rather tricky and dangerous tasks to prevent strangers from entering the territory entrusted to him.
The breed was bred in Belgium.
19. Rottweiler
Despite the widespread belief that the Rottweiler is a dangerous and wayward dog that is difficult to control, this is not the case. Rottweilers have a calm and strong character and a stable psyche.
Perhaps people confuse aggressiveness with a certain tendency of these powerful dogs to dominate, including in communication with people. Therefore, it is essential to properly educate a dog and build a hierarchy in which the owner will be the main one; this breed, not deprived of intelligence, will execute commands with a bang!
The breed was bred in Germany but had roots in the Roman Empire.
20. Pembroke Welsh Corgi
The popularity of this cute breed is skyrocketing. Appearance, behavior, cute slovenliness... But this shepherd dog is not stupid; on the contrary, it is at the top of one of the most easily trained intellectuals among its relatives.
The breed originated in Wales.
21. Belgian Malinois
Like the Belgian Tervuren, the Malinois is intelligent.
The breed was bred in Belgium.
22. Shetland Sheepdog (Sheltie)
Her fiefdom is the Shetland Islands; her occupation is walking ponies, cattle, and flocks of sheep. Endurance is their forte, and intense brain activity allows them to achieve their goals.
The breed was bred in the UK.
23. Weimaraner
The Weimaraner is a breed of hunting dog bred in early 19th century Germany, favored by the royal family for its stunning looks, athleticism, and intelligence.
Once used to hunt big game such as wolves and bears, their descendants now excel in various dog sports.
However, being very energetic and intelligent, Weimaraners need proper training to remain calm and control their strong hunting instinct.
The breed was bred in Germany.
24. English Cocker Spaniel
Spaniel dogs have been known for at least 500 years, although the first English Cocker Spaniel breed books were registered much later, in 1874. Bred for hunting, the Cocker Spaniel soon gained popularity among other dog breeders due to its intelligence and good nature.
The breed was bred in the UK.
25. Australian Cattle Dog
The Australian Cattle Dog is an artificially bred breed in Australia, originally for driving cattle over long distances in the most challenging weather conditions of the Australian continent. And that's it!
The breed originated in Australia.
26. German Shorthaired Pointer (Kurzhaar)
The Kurzhaar is a versatile breed of hunting dog, bred in the 19th century in Germany.
The breed is known not only for its intelligence but also for its restless character, eccentricity, and temperament, which can be influenced by heredity, training, and level of socialization.
The breed was bred in Germany.
27. Breton Spaniel
The Breton Spaniel came to us from France or the province of Brittany (northwest of the country).
Dogs are energetic, so they have to go on long walks; do not forget about the warm-up for the pet's head.
The breed was bred in France.
28. Tibetan Mastiff
The Tibetan Mastiff is a large but kind dog for walking and hunting. A rare combination for herding dogs.
Unfortunately, such a large breed is practically not intended for living in an apartment - it needs space and constant physical activity.
Despite the good disposition, the dog can become highly aggressive and dangerous without proper training.
The breed was bred in China.
29. Chesapeake Bay Retriever
The Chesapeake Bay Retriever, developed in the United States in the 19th century, has historically been used for hunting, pulling fishing nets, and rescuing fishermen. This breed is known for its good disposition, intelligence, and affection for people.
The breed was bred in the USA.
30. Flat Coated Retriever
And one more retriever completes the top 30. Kindness and ingenuity, it seems, are in their blood!
The breed was bred in the UK.

2020 Kukur Tihar festival: Best 50 cute photos where Dogs are worshiped and thanked for their loyalty
Every dog has its day, and for canines in Nepal that phrase could not be more literal. The five-day Nepalese Hindu festival of Tihar started this week and the second day is known as Kukur Tihar or "day of the dogs".
Dogs are celebrated and blessed with a Tika - a red mark applied to their forehead. The animals are also given flowers and offered food as part of the festival. Even though ‘Kukur Tihar’ is essentially celebrated in Nepal, several Hindus in India celebrate it too.
Many took to social media to share pictures celebrating the occasion with their furry friends and boy, do they look adorable!
Bemorepanda has collected a compilation of the best 50 pictures for this year festival that will make your heart melt.
1 Happy Good Doggo day everyone
2 Nepalese Festival that celebrates Dogs. Today is a special day in Nepal also known as ‘Kukur Tihar’ that is reserved for man’s best friend. It is dedicated solely to thanks Dogs for their loyalty and friendship.

12 The second day Dipawali is called Kukur (dog) Tihar. On this day, all dogs, whether pets or strays, are offered treats and worshipped by placing a tika on their forehead and garlands of marigolds around their necks. This day marks the special relationship between humans and dogs, where dogs are thanked and celebrated for their loyalty, service and companionship.
Dogs occupy a special place in Hinduism, not just as loyal companions but also as messengers of Yama and incarnations of the god Bhairava.
13 In Hinduism, it is believed that dogs are the messengers of the God of Death, Yama, and guard the underworld empire. They are, somehow, heaven’s gatekeepers. The story in the Mahabharat epic is quite interesting. On his final journey to Swarga to attain the state of God, Yudhishthira lost his brothers and wife along the way, but a dog followed him until he reached the gate. Yudhishthira, then, refused to abandon his friend, the dog, and didn’t want to enter heaven without him. Eventually, the dog turned out to be Yama, the God of Death, who was testing Yudhishthira’s virtues; Yudhishthira had renounced heaven instead of renouncing his friend, the dog, proving he transcended the achievements of the royal sages.
14 Day of the Dog which is celebrated in Nepali Culture across the world. Kukur Tihar honors dogs in all of their aspects as Gurdians, Companios,and Friends. In pictures you’ll notice a wreath of flowers hanging on neck. This floral necklace called malla which is a mark of respect and dignity
15 The festival brings together the key aspects of nature - people, animals and colours. As part of the celebrations, cows, crows, dogs and oxen are worshipped across the country symbolising the manifestation of various gods.⠀
.⠀
On the Kukur (dog) Tihar day, the Nepalese Hindu community worships dogs owing to their religious significance as the guard of Lord Yama, the god of death. It is also believed that dogs can lead the souls of the dead to heaven.⠀
.⠀
Dogs 🐶 are offered special prayers with tikka, garlands and delicious foods. We have compiled several images of dogs being honoured for their role as man's best friend in providing companionship and security.⠀ .

Your dog doesn't know how to keep a secret. If he likes something, he shows it to you. If he hates something, rest assured you'll know. Are there things you do that you are not aware of that your dog hates? It's hard to say, because dogs have their own personality, including their own weaknesses. Bemorepanda is here to inform you.
Your dog may react differently to stimuli than other dogs. But here are the things that can cause negative reactions to your dog!
Habits your dog hates:
1. Removing him from smelly curiosities
People do not appreciate the smell as much as dogs, who live in an olfactory world. When you walk your dog, you both smell and see. But you see more, and your dog smells more. So people who walk their dogs, but constantly pull them with a leash when they try to smell the curbs, trees, grass, do a bad thing by dogs.
If you do not see or smell something important, remember that the same does not apply to your companion.
2. Isolating him in a room during fireworks
It is well known that pets are stressed when they hear fireworks. You can't explain to them that they are to celebrate something. Most people keep their dogs in a quiet place in the house to calm them down. However, you should not limit your dog to one room.
He will constantly try to run away from the noise, and if he is in a narrow place, he will get hurt as he tries to run away. Create a safe space for him to hide, but don't make him feel stuck.
3. Foreigners in new places
Some studies have found that your pet is happy when he meets a new environment, but only when he is with you or a person he lives with permanently. A 2014 study found that stress in dogs, measured by heart rate, was induced when the animals were placed in a new place and comforted by a person who did not live permanently with them.
4. Wrongly scheduled walks
Walking the dog offers psychological, social and physiological benefits, but there are certain times of the day during several months of the year that can stress the dog. Even though a morning walk in the summer may seem perfect, it can be a little overwhelming and potentially dangerous for your dog. Its paws can burn from extremely hot surfaces.
5. We prefer words, not body language
We are a vocal species; we even like to talk to our pets, who can't understand anything we tell them. Dogs can deduce what some keywords mean - like "outside", "toy", "walk", but they can't understand human language. To realize what we want to convey to them, they rely on body language.
Dogs follow us all the time, read the language of the human body, like a sixth sense, and can figure out what we think or feel, often right in front of us. However, we can send confusing messages to our animals if we pay attention to what we say, not what we do. For example, when we give a dog the command to "sit" while we lean towards him with our hand outstretched, a gesture that practically invites the quadruped to come towards us. If the animal does, he is reprimanded for not obeying the verbal order.
6. We walk towards a dog looking him in the eye
Eye contact has a very strong effect, and for many species, it is a way to establish dominance. When you look insistently in the eyes of a dog, without blinking, even if you do it with love and smiling, the animal could interpret that you are trying to dominate it or even to be aggressive.
While some may have a submissive reaction, turning their gaze or sitting on their backs, others will bark nervously. For all, however, the situation will not be a comfortable one. Therefore, if you want to greet a dog that does not know you, bend down slightly - without turning your shoulders towards the animal, do not look him in the eye and speak to him in a gentle voice. All of these are signs of friendship and will help the quadruped understand that you are not a danger.
7. We pet the dog on the head
Most of us think that our little animals like to be petted on the head; it is not so at all. If you watch your dog's reaction, you wil
We notice that he leans his head slightly aside; he will, however, let you caress him, but not because he pleases him, but because you are his master. If you want to make him happy, caress his back, towards his tail.
8. We hug the dog
We like to hug our dog without knowing that he hates hugs. While we humans consider this gesture a manifestation of love, pets perceive it quite differently. Dogs do not have arms and do not hug each other; if one specimen puts its paw on the back of another, the gesture is considered one of domination. When embraced, many will feel threatened, frightened, and disturbed; in fact, there were many cases when children who resorted to such a gesture were bitten.
9. Strong perfume
Dogs have an extremely developed sense of smell and therefore, if you have used too much cologne, the quadruped will not sit next to you.
10. To be awakened from sleep
Nobody likes to be woken up, much less puppies. They will feel frustrated and disoriented. If you still need to wake him up, do it patiently, talking to him calmly and affectionately.
