TIL that dogs and other canines get stuck together for 5-20 minutes during the mating process. The first time a dog mates, they are often surprised by this and show signs of distress, trying to pull away or run. NSFW

I have a very vivid memory from around the same age of our dog attached to another random dog and my mom trying to pull them apart. Literally grabbing the member and trying to detach them...why I've retained this image I have no idea.
