You may question how this is related to cars, but if you like dogs you won’t question how awesome this is. It’s some high definition video of dogs hanging their heads out of car windows. When I was in the fourth grade, my buddy told me that the reason dogs do that is because their noses are more sensitive to oxygen and it makes them high. Since this is a somewhat legitimate blog, I did some Googling to see if he was right. It turns out he was pretty close. Dogs hang their heads out of car windows not because the oxygen makes them high, but because they’re able to process all of the scent information contained in the air going by the car. Check out this article by K9 magazine for all of the details, or you can just watch these videos to see it happen.
If you like this sort of thing, then you really owe it to yourself to read a book called “The Art of Racing in the Rain” by Garth Stein:
The book uses race driving as an analogy for living life. It’s also interesting because it is narrated from the perspective of the race driver’s dog. It will definitely make you laugh and cry and you don’t even have to be into cars to enjoy it. Definitely my favorite book.
