How Many Times Does Poochie Shake Before He’s Dry?

Like you, we’ve often pondered this question. Now we have the answer.

According to Senator Jeff Flake, the National Science Foundation (NSF) tossed $390,000 of your dollars to brainiacs at Georgia Tech to solve this ancient mystery. Among their revelations:

• Dogs they studied shook off 70% of their wetness in 4 seconds & shook 5-7 times per second
• Kangaroos shook 5 times a second; bears 4 times
• Armadillos don’t shake at all (who’d have thought that?)

For this waste of your money the NSF earns its 7^th Golden Fleece Award.

And did we mention that mice stand on their hind legs to shake?
