It is estimated 1.2 million puppies are born every day worldwide. They are one of the most loved pets especially when they’re younger than adults.
Did you know puppies love ‘baby talk’ unlike adult dogs? An adult dog would tend to ignore such talks.
“Like humans, puppies seem to grow out of baby talk, recent research has found. As part of a 2017 study, 30 women were asked to look at assorted photographs of people and dogs and utter this pre-written line: “Hi! Hello cutie! Who’s a good boy? Come here! Good boy! Yes! Come here sweetie pie! What a good boy!” To the surprise of no one, the human test subjects spoke in a higher register while looking at dog pictures, especially puppy photos. Afterward, the researchers played the recordings for 10 adult pooches and 10 puppies. Almost all of the pups started barking and running toward the speaker when they heard the baby-talk recordings. In contrast, the grown dogs pretty much ignored the recordings altogether,” states Mental Floss.

Awe, dang. I got the teeth q wrong. I love puppies! Great set, now I am off to do the kitten one.
Thanks for playing the quizzes. Teeth can be challenging:)
I believe that puppies can grow into beautiful dogs. Thank you for sharing that with us.That is an adorable puppy in the picture.
Yes, they can grow into beautiful dogs. Thank you. You’re welcome. I agree the puppy is cute.
Such a cute puppy I am a cat person but I love dogs too. I got them all right except for one.
I’m also a cat person but do enjoy the company of dogs. Congratulations, you rock!
Such a cute puppy! Interesting facts, I didn’t know about the yawning.
Yawning is contagious and adult dogs are affected by it by yawning back but not puppies.
I yawn when puppies yawn as well, haha. But glad that they are not affected by my yawns.
Got them all correct, what a great and happy quiz you created. 🙂
Thank you and Congratulations. You rock.
I got 8 for 8, better than i did with kittens!
There are many studies that show dogs respond to the same voice as adults that they did as puppies. But i do object to one thing you said.
I disagree that we love puppies more than we love adult dogs. there is a great burden with both babies (human) and puppies (dogs) that creates a bond.
that bond remains strong well past the puppy (or baby) growing up.
I agree with you that the bond goes well beyond the puppy stage to adult stages. From my observation and study, I have noted many pet owners love kittens and puppies than the adult ones.
But as you said, it goes past the puppy to adult.
You are indeed a dog expert.
i think perspective is critical. I know that the connection with a human baby and with a puppy evolves.
you could fairly say that there is an established pattern by the time you have an adult pet. So while the love is as deep, the river appears to flow another direction!
You have summed it well:)
thanks – i have two older dogs now, and I treasure them!
Perfect you rock it says, but then I have had so many dogs since I was a child.
Congratulations. You rock! You know so much about dogs since you’ve had many since you’re a child.
Very interesting. My result: 5 out of 8
With two to go, you did better.
We have had countless dogs that were brought in as puppies but never bothered to get all this information. Got just 3 right.
The best thing is to enjoy their company. I came to learn more about dogs in my adulthood.
