What is more fun than learning about our canine friends? In this post we will learn all about their anatomy!

Cats are the most popular pet in the United States and there is a good reason for this.

No one knows for sure, but some say there are around 190 bones in a pug. Others say the number is closer to 206. The skeletal system of these small dogs has been studied extensively by veterinarians and anatomists since they are so unique. Pug owners have also found ways to count these little guys' bones over the years, but it's difficult because their short legs make them hard to see all at once.
A pug has over 230 bones and that's not counting the tail.
I'm not sure if you know, but dogs can eat bones. This sounds like a recipe for disaster, doesn't it? However, the reality is that some dogs are actually more likely to chew their food thoroughly when they have access to bones.

That being said, there are some things you should keep in mind before offering them one of these tasty treats; read on!

In the past, it was thought that dogs had 300. Today this number has been revised to 206 bones in total. This includes all of their small and large bones as well as those found inside their nose, mouth, ears, paws and tail. Dogs also have a few extra features like two clavicles (collarbones) which is not commonly seen on other mammals with four limbs or more than one head!
