Let me guess: was that a Great, Great Dane? Saddle up! Talk about
running with the big dogs . . .whatever Fido wants, Fido gets.
In Germany, I saw some beverages labeled in centileters. Bottled water
was labeled 75 cL instead of 750 mL. No idea why.

I was going through my sister's math curriculum the other day for fun
seeing if I could remember all my math from way back when. My mom
homeschools and the curriculum she uses is one from a UK school,
which means that thankfully all the problems are in SI.
One thing that did throw me for a loop was the questions that asked
"how many cL are in one liter"
Is the centiliter more common in European schools and life instead of
the milliliter?
I have to admit to being embarrased on the matching game though. I
incorrectly labelled a dog as weighing one metric tonne because the
picture looked a lot like the cow next to it at first glance, and the
questions where it presented you with a picture and asked you to guess
how much each item weighed in real life really threw me.
It was a fun test of my very early math skills though.
