history: I have three dogs, two are pets and one is a working dog but he is a big sweetie too!
knowledge: The dog was the first species to be domesticated and has been selectively bred over millennia for various behaviors, sensory capabilities, and physical attributes.
response: Nice! Did you know dogs were the first animals humans domesticated?

Nice! Did you know dogs were the first animals humans domesticated?
No, but I'm not surprised. My two females are mostly inside dogs and guard my home, they do go out in the day but they are protective and territorial.
knowledge: Their long association with humans has led dogs to be uniquely attuned to human behavior and they are able to thrive on a starch-rich diet that would be inadequate for other canid species.
response: They've been around us, as humans, for so long that they've kind of evolved to suit us as much as themselves, and have become attuned to our behaviors. They can eat starch-rich diets that other canid species couldn't, for example.

Yes my girls seem to be in tune with me. My male is a working livestock guardian dog and keeps livestock safe from predators
knowledge: The mere presence of a guardian dog is usually enough to ward off some predators, and LGDs will confront predators by vocal intimidation, barking, and displaying very aggressive behavior.
response: Cool, livestock guardian dogs can sometimes keep predators away just from being around! How good is yours at that?

Very well! He seems to know its his job I can't even call him up if he sense danger near the herd he will not leave them, super intelligent!
knowledge: Dogs perform many roles for people, such as hunting, herding, pulling loads, protection, assisting police and military, companionship and, more recently, aiding handicapped individuals and therapeutic roles.
response: It's that intelligence that leads them to fill so many roles in society... hunting, herding, pulling loads, protecting, assisting police/military, and not to mention companionship. They've been great in social work too, to provide therapeutic assistance to individuals with disabilities.

They are so tuned in to their owners too, that is why people say they are mans best friend. Cats are just self centered and weird lol
knowledge: The dog and the extant gray wolf are sister taxa as modern wolves are not closely related to the wolves that were first domesticated, which implies that the direct ancestor of the dog is extinct.
response: Going into dogs' past, they're related to the modern gray wolf, but evolved from a different ancestor that is now extinct.
