Overview

A puppy is a juvenile dog. Some puppies can weigh , while larger ones can weigh up to . All puppies display primary altriciality and healthy puppies grow quickly after birth. A puppy's coat color may change as the puppy grows older, as is commonly seen in breeds such as the Yorkshire Terrier. Puppy refers specifically to young dogs, while pup may be used for other animals such as wolves, seals, giraffes, guinea pigs, rats or sharks. Prenatal Development Dogs go through prenatal development before they are born, just like all animals do. The germinal stage, the embryonic stage, and the fetal stage are the three phases that make up this development. The first stage of prenatal growth in dogs is known as the germinal stage, which starts at fertilization and lasts for about two weeks. The fertilized egg, also known as the zygote, travels through the fallopian tube to the uterus during this period while undergoing rapid cell division. The placenta, which will feed the growing puppy, is formed once the zygote enters the uterus and settles in the uterine wall. The embryonic period lasts from about day 14 of pregnancy until day 28 or so. With the growth of important organs and body systems, the embryo starts to take on a more recognizable shape at this stage. This involves the development of the digestive system, brain, heart, and lungs. An ultrasound can show the embryo at this time, which is about the size of a grape.

Notable quotes

“A dog will make eye contact. A cat will, too, but a cat's eyes don't even look entirely warm-blooded to me, whereas a dog's eyes look human except less guarded. A dog will look at you as if to say, "What do you want me to do for you? I'll do anything for you." Whether a dog can in fact, do anything for you if you don't have sheep (I never have) is another matter. The dog is willing.”
— Roy Blount Jr., "Dogs Vis-A-Vis Cats", Now Where Were We? (New York: Random House, 1989)
“When a dog wags her tail and barks at the same time, how do you know which end to believe?”
— Man of the Year (2006), screenplay by Barry Levinson, spoken by Tom Dobbs (Robin Williams)
“I think Crab my dog be the sourest-natured dog that lives: my mother weeping, my father wailing, my sister crying, our maid howling, our cat wringing her hands, and all our house in a great perplexity, yet did not this cruel-hearted cur shed one tear. He is a stone, a very pebblestone, and has no more pity in him than a dog.”
— William Shakespeare, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, , act II, sc. iii
“I loathe people who keep dogs. They are cowards who haven't got the guts to bite people themselves.”
— August Strindberg, A Madman's Diary (1895)
“His faithful dog salutes the smiling guest.”
— Thomas Campbell, Pleasures of Hope, Part I, line 86.
“Canis timidus vehementius latrat quam mordet.”
— The cowardly dog barks more violently than it bites.
