Dogs

The dog, often known as a domestic dog, is a wolf that was tamed and has an upturned tail. The closest surviving relative of the dog is the current wolf, which is descended from an ancient, extinct wolf. Before the advent of agriculture, about 15,000 years ago, hunter-gatherers domesticated the dog as the first species. Dogs have become widespread among domesticated individuals as a result of their long contact with humans, and they have developed the ability to subsist on a starch-rich diet that would be insufficient for other canids.

Many of us have found our dogs playing with a lizard in the back garden. Except for stray dogs who are starving and actively seeking something to augment their diet, they will only consume it when the opportunity arises.

The consumption of lizards by domestic dogs has long been frowned upon by dog owners, who regarded the reptiles to be poisonous to their pets. Research, however, demonstrates that this is untrue. Not always is it harmful to dogs to eat lizards; in fact, this is frequently the case. However, it is important to keep in mind that lizards might harbor parasites, particularly a parasitic liver fluke that can infect and kill pets like cats and dogs.
