Quick Recall: The Dog Facts You Probably Have Wrong

How much do you really know about dogs?

We’ve all heard the classic “facts” — dogs only see in black and white, a wagging tail means a happy dog, a warm nose means your dog is sick, and dogs eat grass because they have an upset stomach.

But how many of these are actually true?

In this mini episode of The Recall Room, we’re taking a closer look at some of the most common dog myths and misconceptions — and separating what we think we know from what science actually tells us.

We’ll talk about how dogs see color, what a wagging tail really tells us, why your dog’s nose isn’t a reliable health thermometer, why dogs eat grass, and whether you really can teach an old dog new tricks.

Because understanding dogs means looking beyond the simple rules and sayings we’ve heard our entire lives.
