Dog

The dog is a domesticated form of the grey wolf, a member of the Canidae family of the order Carnivora. The time period is used for both feral and pet varieties. The dog was the primary animal to be domesticated, and has been the most widely saved working, looking, and companion animal in human history. The word "Dog" may mean the male of a Dog species, versus the phrase "bitch" for the feminine of the species.

Dogs had been domesticated from grey wolves about 15,000 years ago. They should have been very valuable to early human settlements, for they quickly turned ubiquitous across world cultures. Dog carry out many roles for individuals, similar to searching, herding, pulling loads, safety, aiding police and military, companionship, and, extra recently, aiding handicapped individuals. This affect on human society has given them the nickname "Man's finest friend" within the western world. In 2001, there were estimated to be four hundred million dogs within the world.

Over the 15,000 yr span the dog had been domesticated, it diverged into only a handful of landraces, groups of similar animals whose morphology and behavior have been formed by environmental elements and purposeful roles. Via selective breeding by people, the dog has developed into hundreds of varied breeds, and exhibits extra behavioral and morphological variation than every other land mammal. For instance, top measured to the withers ranges from a number of inches in the Chihuahua to some feet in the Irish Wolfhound; shade varies from white by way of grays to black, and browns from light to dark in a large variation of patterns; coats can be short or lengthy, coarse-haired to wool-like, straight, curly, or smooth. It is common for most breeds to shed this coat.
