Or at least, magic MUST be involved in it somewhere because sometimes what they want (like for you to throw a ball they don’t want to give you) is absolutely impossible by human logic! Sometimes, you need to think like a dog to understand your friend – and even then, you still may not understand. Here’s some … Read more

Of all the doggy myths, urban legends, and wives’ tales I have heard throughout my life, I think this is the one that still gets the most debate.
