sentences: Dog behavior is the internally coordinated responses of individuals or groups of domestic dogs to internal and external stimuli.
 It has been shaped by millennia of contact with humans and their lifestyles.
 As a result of this physical and social evolution, dogs, more than any other species, have acquired the ability to understand and communicate with humans and they are uniquely attuned to their behaviors.
 Behavioral scientists have uncovered a wide range of social-cognitive abilities in the domestic dog.
The PWS-35 "Ogar" (English: Polish Hound ) was a two-seat, aerobatic training biplane that was designed by Kazimierz Nowicki, Marian Piątka and Michał Rosnowski at the Lviv Polytechnic in 1935/1936.
Ixodes kaiseri is an Old World species of ixodid tick that parasitizes badgers, foxes, steppe polecats, raccoon dogs, and common hedgehogs in forest habitats and along heavily overgrown riverbanks and depressions in steppe habitats; they have also been collected from domestic dogs visiting these habitats.
 The specific epithet honors the scientific contributions of Dr. Makram N. Kaiser.
The taxon dingo refers to the native dog found in Australia but may at times also refer to some similar dogs native to peninsular and island southeast Asia and neighboring regions, such as the New Guinea singing dog.
 The genetic evidence indicates that the "dingo" clade originated from East Asian domestic dogs and was introduced through the Southeast Asian archipelago into Australia, with a common ancestry between the Australian dingo and the New Guinea singing dog.
The Polish Hound, commonly known as Ogar Polski, is a breed of hunting dog indigenous to Poland.
 The Polish Hound has a keen sense of smell.
 This heightened sense combined with the endurance needed to hunt in harsh environments led to its use in hunting, while its stature made it popular with Polish nobility.
Elaine Ann Ostrander is an American geneticist at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland She holds a number of professional academic appointments, currently serving as senior scientist and head of the NHGRI Section of Comparative Genomics; Chief of the NHGRI Cancer Genetics Branch; and Chief of the Cancer Genetics and Comparative Genomics Branch.
 She is known for her research on prostate cancer and for conducting genetic investigations with the "canis familiaris", the domestic dog model, used to study disease susceptibility and frequency and other aspects of natural variation in mammals.
 In 2007, her laboratory showed that most of the variation in body size of domestic dogs is due to differences in a single gene encoding a growth-promoting protein.
The skeletal remains of dogs from Nilgala cave and from Bellanbandi Palassa, dating from the Mesolithic era, about 4500 BC, suggest that Balangoda Man may have kept domestic dogs for driving game.
 The Sinhala Hound is similar in appearance to the Kadar Dog, the New Guinea singing dog and the Dingo.
 It has been suggested that these could all derive from a common domestic stock.
The interbreeding of dingoes with other domestic dogs is an ongoing process affecting the population of free ranging domestic dogs in Australia.
 The current population of free ranging domestic dogs in Australia is now probably higher than in the past.
 However, the proportion of the so-called "pure" dingoes (dogs with exclusively dingo-ancestry) has been in the decrease over the last few decades and is regarded as further decreasing.
Puppy cat (or puppy-like cat, dog-like cat, etc.) is a term used to refer to specific breeds of domestic cats that feature unusual behavioral tendencies that are reminiscent of young domestic dogs, those tendencies within the general, broad scope of feline behavior being enhanced through selective breeding.
 Specific examples include the tendency to follow owners and other people around from room to room, the desire to receive frequent moments of physical affection such as being held and petted, a lack of aggression toward some fellow animals (such as other felines), and a general placid nature.
 "Puppy cat" and related terms have been used to label breeds such as the 'Abyssinian', 'Burmese', 'Maine Coon', 'Manx', and 'Ragdoll'.
 While these attributes are found desirable for owners interacting with their cats, problems can occur when the felines are exposed to dogs and strange people, with the cats possibly being too trusting and too friendly for their own good.
The Borzoi ( , literally "fast"), also called the Russian wolfhound (Russian: Ру́сская псовая борзая ), is a breed of domestic dog ("Canis lupus familiaris").
 Descended from dogs brought to Russia from central Asian countries, it is similar in shape to a greyhound, and is also a member of the sighthound family.
