I know its true, well I know I heard it somewhere...

I was speaking with a friend today who mentioned that his dog needed to lose 12 pounds. I asked him what he was using for treats and he said he gave the dog 2 slices of American cheese individual wrappings. I told him with all assuring that it was found that only 1/100th of a slice of American cheese was sufficient incentive for a dog to consider it a treat.

Here is my point, I know I read that in the distant past. In my mind it is as true as anything else. However, there is really one way to verify the veracity of this statement and I have absolutely no idea where and when or even why I would have heard this,. Why I have taken it as gospel and spout it out at the first opportunity to use this nugget is a mystery to me.

However, until proven otherwise, it takes only 1/100th of a piece of American Cheese to use as a training tidbit for dogs.

So, who else has totally unverifiable trivial truths locked in their head and have you had the chance to use this small pearl? Have you just dropped it in conversation to the amazement and bewilderment of your fellow conversant?
