It's termed a fact so you swallow it without thinking
According to the writeup, dogs give birth per 2 months..that's 6 times in a year if they keep getting pregnant... How many puppies are born at a time...lemme go with an outrageous 15 pups...that's 15*6=90 puppies in a year and that's even stretching it...
Does that sum look close to 11000 per year so as to amount to 66000 in 6 years?
You were given a brain, make use of it.
