Dog 2 Dogs

When you enter into the world of dog ownership then you have entered into a world that will be filled with fun and excitement and many moments of warmth. Nothing can get under your skin like a dog. They are your best friends no matter what. In their eyes you can do no wrong even if you yourself know you may could have done something better. Millions of pet owners already know this fact because so many spend so much money on the spoiling of our beloved pets. We want to reward our little four legged friends by showering them with little gifts. Many of the gifts you have to wonder are more for the owner then the pet. I can not imagine a dog wanting to wear costumes! Our canine friends also want to accompany us on any trip that we make and will be your exercise partner at any time they are invited. With all of this unwavering devotion comes the other side of ownership which is responsibility. The overseeing of their care can be a very expensive task as well as heartbreaking. Supplying the basic needs for a dog is easy. Giving them the proper vet care is easy. When it comes to the fact that our dogs do not live as long as we do and many times decisions have to be made on their behave it gets almost unbearable. How do you part with a friend that has been your mainstay for many years and know it was the right decision? The funny thing about pet owners is we know all of this information but would not want a life without our pets in it. The ups and downs, the happiness and sadness in the end we would not have it any other way!

Our Dogs.
Called Canis lupus familiaris.
Estimated to be 400 million dogs in the world.

Dogs are a domesticated sub-species of the wolf. A carnivorous animal. When you get bit you will know it. These creatures are members of the Canidae family of the order carnivora used for both feral and pet varieties. Everything I have read shows that the domesticated dog has been one of the most widely kept working and companion animals in human history. Saw somewhere there was even a Keeshound with the three wise men.

Our domestication of wolves, most think the gray wolf took place around 15,000 years ago somewhere in the central Asia region. Dogs quickly became everywhere across most cultures of the world. With the resulting domestication process, dogs have developed a sophisticated intelligence that includes unparalleled social cognition, along with a theory of mind that is important to their interaction with humans. Just love it when you come home and they wag there tails until they are silly. Their social skills have helped dogs to perform in protection of humans, hunting, animal herding and currently assisting handicapped individuals.
