Dog Mouth Size
Why are some golden retrievers able to fit three tennis balls in their mouth, while others can only fit one?
———- from Jackie LeBrun of Medford, OR
The size of a dog’s mouth is inversely proportional to its brain size. Most dogs, especially retrievers, are acutely aware of their lack of intelligence and often mistake tennis balls for free floating cranial matter. So, basically, they’re trying to eat their way into higher IQ. Many of my colleagues tried that route in graduate school, but most of them simply excelled at gaining weight. I top the scales at 210 nowadays, but my IQ, of course, is much higher.
