The Canary Islands were not named after birds. They were named after the large dogs that lived there in ancient times: Canariae Insulae = Island of Dogs

The expression "Three Dog Night" is an Eskimo expression meaning that its so cold out that you have to huddle with three dogs to stay warm.

The Romans believed that Sirius - The Dog Star - added to the heat of the sun greatly from July 3rd to August 11th, creating the Dies Caniculares - The Dog Days Of Summer

The heaviest dog on record was an old English Mastiff named Zorba, who weighed 343 pounds and measuring 8'3" from head to tail is also the longest dog on record.

The smallest dog ever recorded was a Yorkie from Blackburn, England. At 2 years old, he was only 2.5 inches high and 3.75 inches long. The tipped the scales at just 4 ounces.

The oldest dog reliably recorded was Bluey, and Australian cattle dog who lived for 29 years and 5 months - almost 20 of those years spent at work.
