The Dog Who "Discovered" the First Velcro

Picture
Swiss engineer George de Mestral with his dog Milka who once played around the bushes only to return to George full of burdock burrs stuck on his fur. George investigated what made the burdock burrs attach to Milka's fur securely and what he discovered became his and Milka's very important invention: the Velcro. Today, when people say "Velcro pup" or "Velcro dog", they refer to dogs that are clingy, not knowing that there's an original Velcro dog, Milka, who co-invented the Velcro we know today.
WHAT could be the second best to having a real pet? Well, a "clone" could be it in the shape of a pillow from Klone Pets, a startup that makes "pet cloning" in cute and tender forms!

EVERY year, tens of millions of people are bitten by dogs, often because they do not know how to read a dog’s body language correctly. Children are the most likely to be bitten. This World Animal Protection video aims to teach children how to read a dog’s body language to hopefully lessen the number of children bitten by dogs around the world.
