•  Puppies are sometimes rejected by their mother if they are born by cesarean and cleaned up before being given back to her.


•  The phrase “raining cats and dogs” originated in seventeenth-century England. During heavy rainstorms, many homeless animals would drown and float down the streets, giving the appearance that it had actually rained cats and dogs.
