The domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris and Canis lupus dingo) is a domesticated form of the gray wolf, a member of the Canidae family of the orderCarnivora. The term is used for both feral and pet varieties. The dog may have been the first animal to be domesticated, and has been the most widely keptworking, hunting, and companion animal in human history. The word “dog” may also mean the male of a canine species, as opposed to the word “bitch” for the female of the species. Dogs were domesticated from gray wolves about 15,000 years ago. They must have been very valuable to early human settlements, for they quickly became ubiquitous across world cultures. Dogs perform many roles for people, such as hunting,herding, pulling loads, protection,assisting police and military,companionship, and, more recently, aiding handicapped individuals. This impact on human society has given them the nickname “Man’s Best Friend” in the western world. In 2001, there were estimated to be 400 million dogs in the world. Over the 15,000 year span the dog had been domesticated, it diverged into only a handful oflandraces, groups of similar animals whose morphology and behavior have been shaped byenvironmental factors and functional roles. Through selective breeding by humans, the dog has developed into hundreds of varied breeds, and shows more behavioral and morphological variation than any other land mammal.Photos bellow are really creative…
