Why Dogs Have Wet Noses

Why Dogs Have Wet Noses This tale dates back to Noah and his famous ark built of wood, how he saved a pair of canines not behaving as they should. The animals lined up two by two pairs logged in at the gate, for God had said it was crucial every creature participate. The dogs weren’t paying attention for when their turn was near, Noah called to them impatiently. “Dogs please check in here”. They wanted to play, not listen and when Noah lost sight of the two, he put in an emergency call to God asking what he should do. He was told the flood was upon them, through the downpour, before it got dark, Noah searched the water, then spotted dogs swimming out to the ark. He opened the hatch, there was barely room, though he tugged to fit both of them in, he had no heart to cast them aside, and he knew it would be a sin. Everything fit but their noses so he drilled two holes in the wood, forty days and nights their noses kept soaked, not warm and dry like they should.. Because of a couple of foolish pups God taught a lesson they wouldn’t forget, thereafter each dog he created was doomed to live with a nose that was wet!
