Dogs a great pet!

Dogs are the first domestic animal which means they are all pets not wild ( like their ancestors). They are descended from wolves, and are now bred by people. People use careful selective breeding. At first, we focused on qualities that would help us get work done, breeding dogs to be even better guards and hunters.

Today, most dogs are pets and live with there people,and others are used for work.

Dogs are à part of à family called the: Canidae, or the Canids. There scientific name is: Canis Lupus Familiaris. The large Canid family includes about three dozen species ( 34 to 38, depending on whom you ask.) Dogs are very unique because of their diversity.

Home sweet home!

Before dogs lived with people, scientists have found out that they lived like wolves in the woods. So there natural habitat is the woods. They  have been living with people for more than 30,000 years. They may have even changed the course of human history! It’s hard to pinpoint exactly where and when wolves transformed into dogs and how they spread through the world. Ancient American dogs, descended from Asian dogs that arrived with their people thousands of years ago, disappeared after European colonists came with their dogs in the 15th century.
