What other way would you want?

Challenged in September 2010 to come up with interesting facts every day by one of my work colleagues, I've since entertained him and those near his desk with bits of information dredged from my brain. Some of my audience went on holiday and still wanted the facts so I started posting here, every day I do one of them, usually Monday through Friday, and the occasional post on the weekend. I post these facts here almost every day and you will find two posts on some days to make any missing days.

Today's interesting fact has to do with Dogs.

As most people know, the domestic dog seems to be a descendant of a species of wolves that lives on and around the Himalayas, with the occasional input of genes from other wolves or wild dogs throughout the world.

Short legged dogs seem to all descend from one genetic change, that is felt to have originated in the middle east, anywhere from 10,000 to 30,000 years ago.
