Living with dogs may protect kids from developing a disease later in life.

The disease in question is Crohn’s Disease (CD). CD causes inflammatory bowel issues like pain, bloody diarrhea, fever, and other awfulness. It can also cause secondary issues like rashes and fatigue.
It’s nasty and if you suffer from it, we are so sorry.
Presented at Digestive Disease Week were findings that kids who lived with dogs (but not cats) had a more heathy gut outcomes, all of which protect against the onset of Crohn’s Disease. A boy going to pet a little tiny golden retrieverA group of students sitting on the floor petting the dog nam
It’s part of the theory that exposure to unique and different types of microbes early in life creates a more robust microbe village in the body. This balance keeps CD at bay. They found that large households had similar microbe boosting effects on the kids. A dog dressed up as Dwight from the office. He is wearing a
The lead author was quick to point out that while the connection appears, there is still more work to be done on understanding why. However, that’s the job of science and teams are working on that right now!

It's one of the most popular dog breeds in the world.

It's cute, wrinkly face is just asking to be kissed, and it's warm personality loves cuddles.

It isn't without health problems and controversy though.

It's the Pug! Let's learn more! 🧵 Image
Pugs probably date back over 2,000 years to ancient China, where they were treasured by emperors and lived luxurious lives.

They were brought to Europe in the 16th century by Dutch traders, quickly becoming favorites among European royalty. Image
As Pugs spread across Europe, they were refined and standardized, leading to the distinctive breed we know today.

The breed's signature features include a short muzzle, curled tail, and expressive, large eyes, which contribute to their unique and endearing appearance. Image

It's time to look at a dog breed that was originally bred to hunt down and catch rats in clothing mills.

It was a warrior in a small package.

Now, it's a companion that wears little cute bows.

It's the Yorkshire Terrier!

🧵 A Yorkshire Terrier looking at the screen
The Yorkshire Terrier, affectionately known as the Yorkie, was bred in England during the 19th century.

As mentioned they were ratters.

Their small size and agility made them perfect for this task. A Yorkshire Terrier looking at the screen
Yorkies were also bred as companion dogs for the working class in Yorkshire, England.

Their playful nature, loyalty, and ability to adapt to different environments quickly made them popular pets. A Yorkshire Terrier looking at the screen

Cats are bendy magical creatures.

Did you know that in 2017 physics attempted to prove that cats are beyond bendy.

A wild and weird test took place that concluded Cats are liquids.

Let's get into it! Image
In 2017, he published a study in the journal Rheology Bulletin, where he applied principles of fluid mechanics to cats.

The study humorously examined whether felines can indeed be classified as liquids based on their ability to conform to the shape of a container! Image
Liquids, according to physics, have no fixed shape and take the form of their container.

Fardin applied this definition to cats—because, as any cat owner knows, these pets love curling up in bowls, boxes, and any small space they can squeeze into. Image

Did you know that your cat may not see you as a human?

Um...what does it see you as then?

Let's get into it on:

THE SUPER PAWSOME SCIENCE THREAD Image
In 2013, anthrozoologist John Bradshaw published findings that suggest cats might actually view us as giant, friendly cats!

Unlike dogs, who see us as a different species, very much like a boss or even a god, cats seem to think we're just big hairless felines! Image
Image
Unlike dogs, which modify their behavior for humans, cats pretty much act the same around us as they would around other cats.

When they knead on your lap or meow for attention, they’re using behaviors they’d normally use with their feline friends. Image

It's time to look at a breed many people have asked us to highlight.

This breed can be a gentle giant, but also the ultimate FAFO to those would cause harm to their family.

They are enormous, fuzzy protectors.

It's the Great Pyrenees.

🧵 Image
The Great Pyrenees, also known as the Pyrenean Mountain Dog, is a majestic breed hailing from the Pyreneess Mountains.

These are a natural border between France and Spain.

Here the dog was on guard duty, protecting livestock. Image
This breed is ANCIENT.

The Great Pyrenees is believed to have been developed by old civilizations, possibly dating back as far as 3000 BC.

Their breeding was carefully managed to retain their large size, strength, and protective instincts.
