What is the role of puppy ears is not just a hearing organ

Puppy ears help dissipate heat All the many tiny capillaries in puppy ears, close to the surface of the skin, provide an effective heat exchange surface to help keep the dog cool; the hair on the ears is also very fine and short, which helps protect the dog from the sun and does not make the dog feel hot. In addition when the dog is running, the incitement of the ears can achieve a cooling effect. Puppy ears protect the ear canal from injury Cocker Spaniels were used for hunting and retrieving in the historic English countryside and often had to walk through thick brush and woods while hunting, so the drooping ears protect the ear canal from foreign objects such as seeds and burrs; and the thick, long hair on the outside of the ears helps protect the ear canal too! Puppy ears can determine the direction of the wind Puppy ears are not only the only organ used to hear sound, they have excellent hearing, can identify high frequency sounds that the human ear cannot capture, and are very good at determining the source of sound, so they can also be used to determine the direction of the wind. The puppy’s ears can also be used to express the mood of the dog’s ear muscles are very well developed, so they usually express their mood and send signals through the ears. Different ear postures have different meanings, such as the sudden erection of the dog’s ears, which means the dog is on alert and ready to attack; the dog’s ears are rotating to indicate that they are carefully distinguishing the direction of the sound source; the dog’s ears are lying down to indicate a relaxed state.
