Dear Alex,
_____________________________________________________________________

I have read about some animal facts recently. I'd like to share some knowledge
_____________________________________________________________________
with you about domestic animals, specifically dogs and horses.
_____________________________________________________________________

_____________________________________________________________________

Dogs are intelligent. Do you know that dogs can actually detect cancer in their
_____________________________________________________________________

owner's body? It's because their sense of smell is so strong that they are
_____________________________________________________________________
typically employed in the police department.

seeing 360 degrees at one time. Having been serving as transport in the
