Dog has been most favorite pet of mankind and is also the largest in numbers, adopted as pet animal. As we have discussed previously, dogs are made domestic for various reasons , like it fulfills the human's requirement for friends, many times for safety, many times for a partner,for hunting , as detective agent etc. So , this creature serves variety of purposes. I read on on a page, that dogs are also used in therapies treating psychology patients.Its one of the best use of this creature for serving the life.
Dog was evolved from a similar creature wolf, and perhaps due to domesticization, its dangerous behaviour got reduced. A skull found in Belgium , shows the signs of transition of the dog from the wolf.


It is believed that dogs are the descendants of the gray wolf. . Not sure whether it were the wolves who came to men , or it was the men who approached them, but this marriage was a win -win deal for both.Man used to feed the wolf, and in turn, wolf served men for hunting as well as provided security. And those times , there were not too much breeds of the dogs were there, but as this animal got encouraged towards life , from the support of human, it began to develop in different breeds depending upon the climate, feed etc. As a result, now there are more than 400 breeds of dogs exists on earth, with 155 among them are being popular across continents.
Infact, man is responsible for such a variety of breeeds of dogs. Man make dogs of different breeds have intercourse, so that a new breed of his desire can be created.But one day, man will have to sure pay for this game with the nature. In short term, man is winner, but the nature is supreme and men has to understand, it just cant beat this supreme.


Though, now lets come again on the main topic,Europe was the first to evidence the relationship of man and dog.Its shocking, that in some sites of Germany, graves of ancient man found, with dog also buried in it. Date of such graves is around 14,000 years. Which suggests, it was the time, when dogs were highly used as domestic animals. The process of domesitcisation of dogs can be perceived to around 30,000 years back.
