Why Do Dogs Drool?

livescience ^

[JoeProBono]

Slimy saliva contains digestive enzymes that help canines (and humans) break down their food. Saliva also wets the throat for a smooth snack-slide right into the belly. But that all happens inside the body. Drooling occurs when there's a saliva spill.

It's simply biomechanics: Some dogs, such as bulldogs and mastiffs, have such short snouts they have trouble containing their saliva and the leakage constantly pours out. Bow-wows with folded skin around their mouths, such as St. Bernards, bloodhounds and Bassett hounds, are also big drippers.

Never in a million years as when this thread is revived two years from now and that picture is gone someone might get the wrong idea!
