About the Domestic Dog

Domestic dogs are descendants of wolves that have been selectively bred for thousands of years to live alongside humans. They come in a vast array of shapes, sizes, and colors, making them one of the most diverse mammal species on Earth. Dogs are known for their loyalty, companionship, and ability to perform various tasks from herding to search and rescue. They have an excellent sense of smell, up to 100,000 times more acute than humans. Dogs communicate through barks, growls, whines, and body language, and they are highly attuned to human emotions and behavior.
