Book Cover & Preview Text
Why do dogs drool? Drool is really saliva. Just like people, it’s important for dogs to have saliva because it helps digest their food, but some things make dogs drool instead of swallowing their saliva. Sometimes when a dog is hungry and he watches you fix his dinner, he drools all over the floor. Watch out! It’s slippery!
