Dogs eat boys’ homework
Two hungry hounds in the Philippines reportedly ate their teenage owners’ homework.
Every dog owner wants to believe their pup is the cutest, but apparently that’s not the case if you’re a believer in the golden ratio.
The ancient Greek mathematical equation has long been used to rate the beauty of humans. However, analysts at the pet insurance comparison website moneybeach.co.uk have used the formula to rank the cuteness of 100 dog breeds.
THESE WERE 2020'S MOST POPULAR DOG NAMES
To come up with its determination of the top 20 dog breeds, analysts looked at face-on photos of each canine and calculated their level of attractiveness based on the distance of its eyes, ears, nostrils and tongue.
With those measurements, the analysts were able to come up with a percentage that showed how much or how little each dog adhered to the golden ratio.
Only 10 dog breeds received a percentage that was higher than 62.5%.
