Very Superstitious

I recently came across a list of dog superstitions.  Here are a few of my favorites for your amusement.

• A dog eating grass means it will rain soon.
• If a newborn baby is licked by a dog it means the baby will be a fast healer.
• Meeting a dog, especially a Dalmatian, is considered good luck.
• Three white dogs together is a sign of good luck.

I can’t say that I hold much faith in these superstitions.  My pugs eat grass in yard all the time and it never seems to rain.  But, I do find it fascinating how people have looked to their dogs to add meaning to life’s occurrences.  Unfortunately, most of the superstitions I came across regarding dogs were pretty ominous.  It seems many believe that dogs have a keen sense of when death and misfortune might strike.
