How many eyelids does a dog have?
a) None. Dogs don’t have eyelids, silly.
b) Two. I know, because they blink like a human.
c) Three. There’s one that you can barely see.
d) Six.
At http://www.loveyourdog.com/facts.html, you learn that besides the normal upper and lower eyelids, your dog has a special eyelid called a “haw”. it is located inside of the other two, and helps protect their eye from dirt and dust. So, if you picked (c), you were correct, but just for one eye. Because dogs have two eyes, the correct answer is (d) six. See also http://www.mvol.co.uk/elmhousevets/doginfo/eye/eye.vm to determine if your dog’s eyes are irritated, as shown in the picture to the left (from www.thatmutt.com).
