Did you ever wonder where the cutest dogs come from? Well, I have.While many other pets abandon their owners and never come back, dogs are different. They are very sweet, loyal, and fuzzy friends that take care of us like we do with them. We usually shower them, exercise them, give them good care, and many other stuff that dogs love to do. They also take care of us in other ways too. When a dog sees danger they bark to keep us warned. They also love to lick our faces and be with us. This is their sign of love and affection towards us. These; are the things that thanks to dogs, we stay safe and receive love. While these dogs have these amazing skills, Where do these dogs come from? It is believed that dogs do come from ancient wolves. …show more content…
There are many theories and facts about this question. "Hundreds of thousands of years ago, humans regarded wolves as threats." This sentence explains their fear of wolves. Wolves back then were known as fierce animals that could attack people and animals. These creatures would gobble up their food and not have any mercy for anyone. Scientist believe that over the years, wolves would be thankful that the humans would give them food. This made some kind of connection between these two. Ever since then these wolves have evolved and became into these radiant pet that we love to spoil.I mean just imagine, how can a wolf really evolve into a dog? It's crazy but they have really evolve into these great pets. That is really amazing.
How have dogs a become part of the family? Well, many years ago, dogs were used to chase fox away and clear up restaurant kitchens of rats. Dogs weren't allowed indoors because they had a lot of fleas and other sickness. At that time, there wasn't enough money to get them good stuff that can take the fleas away. In the 1800's, that changed. People were getting wealthier, and they were able to afford new powerful soaps that would clean fleas and other stuff the dogs had. People started to let the dogs come into their home, and slowly they became very sweet loving pets that we love to
Humans and dogs have been pals for what seems like forever. However, all relationships have to start somewhere, and this relationship is no different. From the beginnings of domestication to where we are today, how we have adapted dogs to our needs and how dogs have adapted us to their needs is a story that sounds fictional. This couldn’t be further from the truth. We call them Man’s Best Friend for a reason--we artificially created them to become our best friends, and they created the mannerisms we use today.
I’ve always felt that animals are the purest spirits in the world. They don’t fake or hide their feelings, and they are the most loyal creatures on Earth and somehow we humans think we’re smarter. I chose this topic about the canine because, some of these canines risk their life’s to protect dog’s best friend.
Dogs are seen as an ‘evolutionary miracle’. This is because, over 100 years, they have the most breeds and changes than any other species. They have changed spectacularly from their ancestors the wolves; they domesticated themselves into dogs and they now carry many different traits. Wolves now have little use for us unlike dogs, for example, retrievers are bred to chase and then bring back
Just as humans have a family tree, so do dogs. Most if not all dogs heritage connects in some way back to the wolf. Then why are dogs domesticated, why are they best friend to man? Any wild animal can be tamed eventually through out the generations and the Chukchi people had learned that trick long ago. They became best friend to the Siberian Husky until someone got in the way, Russia. Russia tried to take over the home of the Chukchi people, Northeaster Asia, but found that the climate was much more dangerous than they though. So instead they forced the Chukchi people to open trade with them. Unknowingly they spread many diseases to the Chukchi people that they had no immunity to, many Chukchi people died. The...
The dog is a unique beast. Loyal and affectionate, if somewhat bizarrely built, today’s dogs are a far cry from the wild wolves from which they emerged. Whether fluffy, naked, cock-eyed, or bow-legged, each dog is an ample prototype of its kind. The very idea that such a cooperative creature could spring forth from such a ruthless predator is astounding by itself. The fact that the multitude of breeds (340, according to the World Canine Organization (Melina, 2014)) could starburst forth from a single point begs investigation. How, indeed, did it come to be that there are so many different breeds of dog?
There are many theories’ that dog got evolved by the grey wolf but current resources say that dogs. The PLoS (is an open access peer-reviewed academic journal published monthly by PLOS Genetics) say that dogs may have not evolved by the grey wolf or least not the grey wolfs that we have living up in our northern forest. One possibility is there may have been other wolf lineages that these dogs diverged from that, then went extinct. But there
...tion, including their initial evolution, their domestication, and the roles they played in human society throughout the ages. It is a relatively new book being published in 2010. Darcy Morey, the author of this book is a zooarchaeologist and focuses his research on the relationship between dogs and humans throughout time. He is a graduate of the University of Tennessee. This book is based on the authors own research and also refers to the information gathered by many other scientists, all of which are listed in the reference section of the book. As mentioned this book contains the results of research from many scientists and is beneficial for learning both general and more scientific knowledge on the subject. I would recommend it to anybody who is conduction a research on the topic. This book was found using I-Share using the search term the domestication of dogs.
The video “Dogs and More Dogs” presents one of the most perplexing questions in evolutionary biology: how did the diversity of dogs evolve from a relatively homogeneous population of wolves. Anthropological data suggests that dogs came into existence some fifteen thousand years ago. In terms of the history of earth and the majority of the organisms that inhibit it, dogs are still very young. It is thus very remarkable that one species (wolves), which must have looked somewhat alike, could have given rise to the huge differences we see between the Chihuahua and the Golden Retriever.
The most likely scenario for wolves beginning to coexist with humans is that a human hunting party came across a very young wolf cub and decided to take it with them. The wolf cub would have been very puppy-like at an early age. The reason that humans would ever take a wolf cub is because the cub would be seen as a valuable resource to humans back then. The wolf cub would become a sort of tool for humans since it is a better tracker, has keener senses, and is faster then humans. The hunters would have figured they and wolves were both hunters and hunted in packs. The humans would share their food with the cub and protect it from being hunted by outside animals, but they would also use the cub to keep them alive by having it track down prey for food. Also, they would probably watch to see if the cub sensed danger in the nearby area so then the hunters could avoid it, too.
Almost all the families that own dogs treat them like a part of the family. In the story How the Dog Became Part of the Family, it stated "According to a 2015 survey by the Harris Poll, ninety six percent of owners consider their dogs to be a part of the family." Since the dogs get special treatment from their owners they will do things for them, like encroachment foxes, clean out rats from somewhere, hunt ducks, and also even pull sleds on snowy days. Dogs can be malign gard dogs for people that treat them like kinfolks. The dogs and humans can have a very special bond. "When a dog and a human gaze in each others eye a chemical is released that causes the dog and human to feel adjacent." For example, in the story How the Dog Became Part of the Family, it states that, "The Harris Poll found that 38 percent of U.S. dog owners cook special meals for their dogs," Another thing is walking a dog a lot can improve people's health and can cause less accentuation. Less accentuation causes a better day and it is helpful to kids with autism. When dos get walked it makes you and the dog feel
Thesis Statement: While most owners are aware of the amount of joy and laughter dogs bring to them and their family, they are unaware that their dogs love them unconditionally and can help them have better lives
Wolves and Huskies are different and similar in many different ways. For example, huskies and wolves live in a completely different environment, but when a pack of each species gets together, the relationship and interaction is very similar. One of the different ways is what they eat. Wolves and huskies are used to a different eating style. Huskies are used to kibble when wolves go out and hunt for themselves. Dog food is made of a stomach lining called tripe. Most tripe is very nutritious and contains enzymes. Other dog food ingredients include soy, Citrus pulp, Weeds/straw, and cereal by-products. Wolves are different because since they are not domesticated, they hunt. Most of their diet includes moose, beaver, hare, and elk. But their prey has adaptations, including the sense of smell, good hearing, speed, and sharp hooves. When unable to hunt the adapted animals, wolves feed on vulnerable individuals, such as weak, sick, old, young or healthy animals in the deep snow, So it's harder for wolves to get food
... and faithfulness that cannot be found from any other source. Even the most hardened of hearts can be touched by a cold wet nose or a comforting snuggle. Pets seem to be able to recognize and adapt to many of the conditions placed on them in our human environment. They can provide the sense of companionship, and love that is lacking in regular human relationships.
Dogs are wonderful creatures. They are loyal, dependable companions if given the opportunity. In recent years I have come to the opinion that we could learn something from these animals. We should also take a look at the manner in which they are being treated. Abandonment, irresponsible breeding, and neglect are only some of the ways that humans are failing the canine species.
Nowadays, people are busy in their daily life and having a lot of stress from their working area. Most of them would like to have a pet to accompany them in their daily life and also can release the stress that they received. For example, having a dog is a good choice for most people who want to have a pet. Dog not only a very good companions and also having deep emotional tie between people. Dogs will protect the people with literally lay down their lives.
