Dogs

Over millennia, the dog has been selectively bred for various behaviors, sensory abilities, and physical characteristics. Dog breeds differ greatly in shape, size, and color. They help humans in a variety of ways, including hunting, herding, pulling loads, protection, assisting police and the military, companionship, therapy, and assisting the disabled. Dogs evolved to be uniquely adapted to human behavior over millennia, and the human-canine bond has been extensively researched.

Dogs are one of the most popular pets in the world, and the bond between dogs and humans dates back centuries. Dogs have been around for as long as we can remember and have been human companions for over 30,000 years. Dog intelligence is defined as the dog's ability to perceive information and retain it as knowledge for use in problem-solving.

Dogs can contribute significantly to our daily lives, whether through the work of their human companions or simply by being present. Dogs came in second place as the World's Most Friendly Animals.
