Intersesting Things About Dogs

Dogs and humans are very similar. Dogs can get our diseases and they can get cancer! Many dogs have been diagnosed with cancer. Cancer, epilepsy, or even diabetes are what some dogs are able to smell. You can train them to smell cancer in a person. If a person is about to have a seizure, a dog can pick up on it forty-five minutes before it happens. Dogs being used as service animals is becoming more popular with people who have diabetes. Dogs can get you sick and they can tell when something isn't fair, since they can be envious. When a dog is accused of doing something, like maybe eating something, they will look guilty even if they didn't do it! Newer dog breeds are smarter than older breeds. Teachable, easy, obedient dogs live longer, and aggressive, belligerent dogs have shorter lives. Dogs are the most different looking mammals alive today. Dogs are also very useful animals. Dogs have been with humans for thousands and thousands of years. They can have a huge impact and be a great part of a person's life!

Alien Planet Found!


Many planets are being found. Astronomers have recently found the smallest planet yet though! This new planet named Kepler-10b, is the first planet, NASA has ever discovered that is earth-like and where life could actually live. If life could live there, then there is so many possibilities. And if there is even such things as aliens,
well then that is the sort of planet
they would be living on.
