...that Dalmatian puppies are born pure whit - without their distinctive spots? It's only when they start to grow that their black or brown spots begin to appear.

...that Mastiff's were recruited as dogs of war during the Roman Empire as well as the Middle Ages? The Romans trained the courageous Mastiffs to fearlessly attack their enemies. During the Middle Ages, the Mastiff was sent into battle against mounted knights. Not entirely defenseless, the Mastiff was geared up with his own coat of armor. With a deadly iron spike set on his head and a cauldron of hot sulfur and resin placed on his back, the Mastiff was transformed into a fearsome warrior.

...that during the 19th century mummified cats in Egypt were excavated and used as manure? In one consignment alone, there were 19 tons of mummified cats. Unfortunately, all that was saved from that consignment was one skull, which was given to the British Museum.
