Top 10 Images of Dogs in The Wind
As a young child, you never see the danger in doing certain things. When I was a small boy I loved travelling via train and whenever there was a pull down window in the door of the train I would stand there leaning out of the train window enjoying the views before me and the wind hitting my face and it seems that dogs feel exactly the same way…
Top 10 Images of Dogs in The Wind
BONUS CONTENT: Top 10 Facts About Wind and Wind Measurement
10 – The main question is: Could he fly with those ears?!?
FACT: Sea breezes occur because heat from the Sun takes longer to warm the sea than the land, creating a difference in air pressure and thus creating spin and indeed wind, that is why the wind is often stronger on the coast and not because it hasn’t hit land yet.
9 – “Any faster and I will tear a hole in space and time!”
FACT: A knot is a unit often used to measure wind speed and this even pre-dates the first sailing ships!
8 – “These are my portfolio images for the next “Gone With the Wind” movie.”
FACT: These days an “Anemometer” is what is used to measure wind speed and many of the modern ones can even predict it as well!
7 – Even “Safety Dog” likes to feel the wind on his face!
FACT: Right up until 1952 weather vanes were used to indicate wind direction and that was the only way to tell! In 1953, the wind sock was invented.
6 – “The wind is so strong it pulled my tongue out!!!”
FACT: Wind direction is given by the direction from which the wind comes, but that doesn’t mean it is really coming from that direction, it might just be blowing downwards in that direction to necessary from it!
5 – “The wind has blown my eyes in!!!”
FACT: Depending on their speed and strength, winds can be known as a breeze, gale, storm or hurricane!
4 – “Sure it hurts, but it’s just so much fun!”
FACT: Short bursts of wind moving at high speeds are known as gusts and these are in fact micro-explosions of gasses and air in the upper atmosphere.
3 – “Did you call me?!?”
FACT: The higher gasses and lower cause differences in air pressure and that ground air rushes from high-pressure areas to lower ones!
2 – “I can give up, sticking my head out of this window anytime I like!”
FACT: Up in the higher atmosphere wind is the flow of gases, but down here on Earth it refers to the movement of air.
1 – This Ladies and Gentlemen is what pure happiness looks like! (on a dog)
FACT: Higher winds mean more electricity, and wind turbines are tall so they can reach higher altitudes where it’s even windier, but too much wind is bad for a wind turbine! In fact, anything over 30mph winds and the turbines have to be turned off.
It does make me wonder what they smell and indeed see. Maybe the feeling of speed for a dog is tenfold!
So funny! My pup loves to wiggle her nose out of the window. Wonder what scents she picks up.
I always worry that my own dog is going to jump out, much like you I know it is a concern in the back of my mind.
Joyous activity. I wonder if it’s anything to do with the thrill of the wind and knowing you’re safe, as long as the dog or human head is not too far out! Our dog can never get enough of it in the car but I always understood that it wasn’t good for their eyes so I try to restrict him. If anyone can shed light on this, I’d love to know as I’d like to let him do it with impunity, who’s always a good friend.
Yes. I have your posts sent to me by email. Although I don’t always have the time to visit. I think when you changed hosts, it automatically migrated subscribers
Thanks! Always nice to have something to smile about. Can I ask, how did you learn about this post? Was it via-Email?
HAHA Love them 😀
And thank you for reading it. I really appreciate it.
You are the only friend your pet has got. Do not ignore or forget his needs in the midst of your revelries. Thanks for sharing such a great article for animal lover. 🙂
*LOL* They do make me smile, dogs are just so much fun, much more than cats! (my opinion)
I controlled myself till #4 –it hurts but it’s fun–and then lost it.
What a riot!
Good to hear you enjoyed them! I love seeing my dog do just this so it was my pleasure to make the list, and it was not a problem on the following at all.
Great pictures of dogs in the wind. And, thanks for following my blog. Look forward to reading more top 10 posts from you.
Thank you so much! High praise indeed.
Thanks for following! Got to love a good top ten list, and this is one of the funniest I’ve seen!
Seat belts! Pha! Never used one at all. And no problems on the follow I am sure it will keep me more than amused.
What a fun post! I am with you on hanging your head out into the wind. When I was little, we would take drives just for the heck of it. I can remember being all bundled up with the window down and looking just like one of these dogs (safety-belts, if we had ’em, were not mandated!). Thanks for stopping by and deciding to follow http://www.chasingrabbitholes.com ! ~ HuntMode
And it is comments like yours that keep me going and still making posts like them. So thank you.
I love these photos! And your website is awesome. I’m having so much fun going through all of your previous posts!
Ahh! I love the little tough of science you bring to this post. P.S that is probably one of the best comments I have ever had! So thank you.
Awesome top ten. Dogs love the wind because it brings in aromas from far and wide and a big chunk of their brain is given over to smells. They have a huge number of receptors in their nose and actually ‘see’ the world through smell. That is why when they approach you they look at your face to see if you are friendly (they are tuned into human faces, especially the right side) and then they sniff you. They can tell where you have been and who you have been with. There nose tells them if you are healthy or unwell. Some dogs can ‘smell’ cancer cells even before they show up on scans. The little guy licking his nose is doing that because a wet nose does a much better job of detecting a range of different smells. Amazing creates indeed!
true fact 🙂
keep posting 😛
Thank you. Good to read when people enjoy these posts otherwise there is no point doing them!

The beagle and boxer are the best!
Thank you. good to hear you liked it.
Fab!!
OMG!!!! That is a case of funny timing or I am truly, truly honoured if I have so much as inspired someone to do that! ( I wish it was true) Mega find though so thank you.
Seems you may have a fan on the staff of a newspaper or this is just a strange coincidence! Daily Mail online today 6th Feb, has an article consisting of a series of dogs taking the air out of car windows! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2274453/We-just-shooting-breeze-Dogs-look-simply-barking-ride-head-window.html
I thought I’d seen it all. That’s classic! Ha ha ha…
Nope! It’s not you I saw this image the other day and spat my coffee over the screen! –> http://funnyasduck.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/funny-dog-joke-glasses-crazy-eyes-pics.jpg
Okay, I’m weird. There’s something special about a dog wearing goggles. They make me laugh just looking at them. Great shots and an inspired topic.
WOW! Thank you, you have just made my day with such a great comment!
You just made my day:)! You are an amazing Blogger! Keep up the good work!
*LMAO* you noticed the eye lift as well. Yeah it looks a little painful, but that look of joy is amazing.
Ok – I will watch…
Brilliant post, great photos! 😆 Dogs do love the wind! Your little captions for each really made this very funny. No.1 was spot on, that is what happiness looks like on a dog – though I’m tempted to add ‘even if my eyes are blood-shot and the tops of my eyes are lifting in the wind!”
I agree, it made me laugh a lot as well.
Oh, the saluki in the first pic is so beautiful! I think the funniest one is #3…that face is priceless!
It is funny indeed.
my favourite is No 10
Thank you because I can promise you it was a great laugh making it, I laughed out loud several times!
Now #9 has got to be my favorite only because he looks just like my Sam. They are all great fun. 🙂
And too funny for words!
Hahahaa cute 🙂
you can send me some photos if you have them because I will ALWAYS use them for some daft list I come up with. If you do then send them to me E-Mail address: Turtle4578588@gmail.com
I think you are already doing that! Can people send in photos or do you have a list of topics you are looking for future use?
Thank you so much! And yes I will do my best to try and make all of my posts as good as I can.
We loved these photos. Keep them coming!
Good to hear you enjoyed it, it makes it all worth while.
Awesome post love these photos!!!!
Now I look at it again quite fast indeed!
Great photo’s but it’s No 3 for me! How fast was the truck going to get that pic! 😀
Thanks!
They do love it that is for sure!
Good to hear you have the same happy head out of window memories.
Thank you, and it really was no problem.
Really superb, oh doggies having fun!! I feel like six years old again just looking. Thanks. Very.
I love 4 and 5 – they made me laugh out loud. I have always noticed dogs love having their heads hanging out the window enjoying the breeze – plus all those fascinating smells.
Clever blog!
Nice Post! Thank you so much for following my blog. I appreciate more than you can know!
Good to hear, I also get to see this far too often so I just had to do this list.
Why dogs love sticking their heads out the window–who knows…
but being a dog owner i see ‘doggy chops’ blowing in the wind often…
really enjoyed these doggy shots…
thanks for the chuckle~
