DOG FACTS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW

Описание: "Dogs bury bones mainly out of instinct,"
In the wild, dogs live from meal to meal, never knowing where or when they'll eat next. So, when they end up with a surplus of food, they save it for later by burying some of it close to their den. "That way, it's there when they need it most and it keeps other dogs from eating it,"

Even though our domestic pups don't have to worry about food the way their wild relatives did, some of them still carry that strong instinct to save and prepare for the future.

Dogs may also be inclined to bury toys, treats, or bones when they're being overfed. Their thinking is there's excess, so I'll save some for later. And anxious dogs or those whose resources were limited when they were a young pup with their litter may have had to fight for or hide food or toys to ensure they got some. Once pups realize they don't have to do that anymore, often the behavior lessens.
