1. The dog fingerprints.
Did you know that a dog's snout is unique? The truth is that there are no two identical snouts, as happens with the fingerprints of humans, dogs also have their own brand. Another curious thing is that the color of the nose can change color, either because of a burn or because of the change of weather season. The nose also helps the dog to stay cool. In fact, the longer the snout, the easier it is to eliminate excessive heat.

4. A unique tongue
The chow chow dog has a dark colored tongue that varies between black, blue and purple. But why does the chow chow have that blue tongue? Although there are several hypotheses, it is considered to be a consequence of an excess of melanin or lack of tyrosine. Either way it gives a unique and unmistakable look.

5. How do dogs really see?
Thought It’s believed dogs see black and white, they see life in color, just like us. Although they do not appreciate a wide range of colors like us, they perceive movement much better tan us and are able to focus attention at a specific point meters away. They also see better than us in the dark and distinguish yellow and blue above other colors.
