That's a cool story.
I wonder how much it cost to study the wet dog shake???

Probably more than any of us would really care to know.

That's a great article, Gary. Thanks for sharing that. I find it amazing how little we know about things we take for granted -- such as the subject of this article. The world is full of wonder, and revisiting subjects we think we know so much about always brings about a new revelation.

Well put, Brian.  Well put.
