The dog is a domesticated carnivore of the family Canidae. It is part of the wolf-like canids, and is the most widely abundant terrestrial carnivore. The dog and the extant gray wolf are sister taxa as modern wolves are not closely related to the wolves that were first domesticated. Dogs have been around for more than 2,000 years and are thought to be among the most popular pets in the world.
About Dog in brief
The dog is a domesticated carnivore of the family Canidae. It is part of the wolf-like canids, and is the most widely abundant terrestrial carnivore. The dog and the extant gray wolf are sister taxa as modern wolves are not closely related to the wolves that were first domesticated, which implies that the direct ancestor of the dog is extinct. Dogs vary widely in shape, size, and colors. They perform many roles for humans, such as hunting, herding, pulling loads, protection, assisting police and military, companionship, and aiding disabled people. This influence on human society has given them the sobriquet of \”man’s best friend, or dog. Canis familiaris is the word meaning \”dog\”, and under this genus, he listed the dog-like carnivores, including wolves, jackals, and domestic dogs, under the binclature Canis lupupupae. Linnaeus considered the dog to be a separate species from the wolf, because of its tail of caurvata – upturning upturn its tail. He classified the domestic dog as Canisamiliaris, and on the next page, he classified the wolf as canis lupsupae, because its tail was recurving upturns upturn, and its tail recurved upturn upturn. He also classified the dog as a species of domestic dog, because the tail of its caurVata – recurvating upturn – was upturned upturn in its tail, and because of the Latin word for ‘dog’ – ‘familiaris’ This is the name given to the two species of dog in the genus Canis, as well as the species of wolf, which is also called Canis domesticis, or ‘dog-like’, and the genus of wolves, including the jackals and the wolves, which he classified as ‘canis familiar’ and ‘wolf-like’ The dog was the first species to be domesticated and has been selectively bred over millennia for various behaviors, sensory capabilities, and physical attributes.
Its long association with humans has led dogs to be uniquely attuned to human behavior, and they can thrive on a starch-rich diet that would be inadequate for other canids. Dogs can be found in the U.S. and Canada, with the exception of Alaska, which does not have a dog population that is large enough to support a large number of dogs. Dogs are also found in Australia and New Zealand, where they are known as ‘dogs’ or ‘pets’ and have been domesticated as far back as the 17th century. They are also known in Europe as ‘puppies’ and in South America as’spokesmen’ and as ‘dogs’ in the wild. Dogs have been around for more than 2,000 years and are thought to be among the most popular pets in the world, along with cats and foxes.
