“Eukanuba” is a term originated from Hoagy Carmichael during the jazz era, meaning “something supreme.”
“Munito the Learned Dog” was a Standard Poodle around 1814 whose Italian master toured with him and an educated goat. He performed for all levels of society, played dominoes and chess, counted, read, and wrote.
The Komondor was probably a dog of the Cumans originally, not the Magyars.
Want to make your dog laugh? Round your lips slightly to make a “hhuh” sound. You shouldn’t feel any vibration when you touch your throat. Then use an open-mouthed smiling expression to make a “hhah” sound. For both sounds, breath them, don’t voice them. It should sound like “hhuh-hhah-hhuh-hhah.” When done correctly, your dog may sit up, wag his tail, approach, and maybe laugh along.
The Labrador Retriever used to be called St. John’s dog.
