Co-Evolution Of Dogs

Have you ever had a dog? Do you know where dogs came from? Well, did you know that a million of years ago dogs did not exist. Back, then the dogs were wolves that disliked people. The relationship between dogs and humans has changed over time because over thousands of years ago, the wolves evolved to dogs and the dogs soon became part of human families. That is why these days people want to have a dog as a pet.

“A dogs sense of smell sometimes out perform X-Rays and CT scans at detecting cancers at an early stage by simply smelling a persons breath or urine.” Everyone is able to breed a dog to function in many different ways and for many different reasons. Mow explains how this is possible through his short movie Science of dogs. “Because of intensive selective breeding by cross breeding different breeds for different distinctive types of physical appearances and behavioral attributes; you will soon create the dog you were looking for and it will also have a consistency of creating the same breed of dog by creating a new genetic code in the dogs DNA”. For example there is one breed of dog that has the best sense of smell in the entire world and they were created for one job and one job only. Klim Sulimov explains what dog this is and how it was formed on the Science of Dogs, “The Sulimov dog has the best sense of smell in the whole entire world, and they were successfully created to identify explosives, he bred a Jackal with a Lapland Herding Hound, a Reindeer Herding Hound, a Fox Terrier, and a Spitz. Creating a dog that is highly trainable dog and a superior snout”. All these hybrid breeds are so successful because of how the dogs DNA is formed. The discovery of deciphering the dog genome was discovered by the Researchers at the National Institutes of Health on The Science of Dogs “Every piece of DNA is made up of four different chemical components

The grey wolf has been transformed into what we, today, call a dog. After years of traveling with humans, the wolf began to change and became adapted and tame enough to socialize with humans. The environment it was placed into was one of the causes for change, and another was the role it played for humans.

Although I have heard from so many people, that a dog is a man 's best friend, I always wondered what completes their strong relationship. Similarities, loyalty, or possibly companionship? There is a reason why we call dogs a man 's best friend. We can learn so many things from a dog 's behavior, attitude, personality, and willingness to provide love and loyalty. When we come home from a long day at work, dog 's do not judge us. No matter how grumpy and tired we are, our dog is happy to see us. It will always greet us with a positive and enthusiastic mind. Appreciating what is happening at the moment, is something that we can learn from our pets. They do not think about what is going to happen tomorrow. They live in the present moment. "As we age, so many people lose the capacity to play, to have fun and enjoy the moment." (Herzog 97) The relationships between humans and dogs grow from attitude, personality and behavior. Dogs can

Humans and dogs have long shared a bond that was based on function. Early dogs that were the least valuable and useful did not make it into today’s time. On the other hand, the most valuable and helpful of dogs remained and created others like them. Ultimately, breed predecessors were produced by breeding the best hunters to the best hunters and the best guards to the best

Man’s best friend: you would think that that title would conjure up images of humans, or even our closest cousins in the animal kingdom, such as monkeys, apes, and chimpanzees. However, the first image that enters most humans head is the same image that would have induced fear hundreds of years ago, the not so distant heir to the wolf: dogs. The same creatures that we feuded with for survival now take up a huge part of our lives and make up a large portion of the images littering the internet. Dogs take part in everything from movies to family gatherings, to search and rescue and emotional or physical service. Nearly fifty percent of American households alone have at least one dog, and between all of us we own 83.3 million dogs, a number not to be trifled with. The place our four-legged canine companions claim is undisputed and easily backed up.

At one time, over 30,000 years ago, dogs were once wolves. Gradually, over the millennia, the grey wolf evolved into the dog. Scientists still today do not know the full history of dogs, but do know that they all have one common ancestor, which is the grey wolf. At one time,

We always say, “Dog is the best friend of human,” but how many of us know the history of human-canine relation and things that dogs have done for us? Maybe the one who truly loves dogs will know about these. There is no exactly record about how dogs came into our lives, but dogs have worked for human for the last ten to twenty thousand years.

There are similarities between dogs and humans. These will include homelessness, perseverance in the fight for survival, the apparent lack of organizational hierarchy among our species, and the instinctual survival abilities that have been lost through the evolution of domestication. All these became apparent to me when I started to compare the dogs that Randy has encountered. Consciously or subconsciously, I’ve come to the realization that humans are not very different from dogs. In the sense, both species have progressed through the evolution of domestication.

There are a lot of discussions about whether wolves and dogs belong to the same species or not. Recently dogs were reclassified from “canis familiaris” to “canis lupus familiaris” what means they are considered as a sub-species of the wolf species “canis lupus”. However, they are extremely close relatives and genetic studies prove that both share a common ancestry. We can consider a dog like tamed or domesticated form of a wolf.

Dogs have been by our sides because we have shown them love and support. The relationship between dogs and humans has changed over time because wolves became dogs and dogs became pets. This means that some dogs that are pets get shown a lot of love and support. When dogs and human gaze into each other eye, this makes them very close. Wolves were used as hunting, and human weren't showing them love and support. Dogs as pets is a big help for people who are lonely. Dogs could also be a big help by guarding people's home. They have been by our side for thousands of

In, Service Dog Helps a Local Fourth Grader Manage Rare Disease, and, Canine Courage, and, The dog of Pompeii, It is clear that dogs are man’s best friend. Evidence can be seen in all three articles. For example, dogs are loyal. As well as a great companion. Not to mention, they are great at helping and participating in rescues. Dogs really are the best friend anyone can have.

The article “Study Says Climate Change Influenced Canine Evolution” by David deMar addresses the big idea of the process of evolution driving the diversity and unity of life. The reason why this article addresses big idea one is because the article’s main purpose is to inform the public about the role the climate change has played in shaping Canine life today and to explain how canine evolved over the years from adaptation and survival needs. Along with this the article hopes to use the knowledge gained by this research to explain how other organisms have evolved similarly to climate change. “Study Says Climate Change Influenced Canine Evolution” is about how the research published by professor Christine Janis and others claims that the evolution

Dog inbreeding is a practice that has been around for hundreds of years. Although it has helped keep breeds “pure,” it also comes with negative effects. The defects caused by inbreeding vary from physical disorders to life threatening diseases. Though most disorders caused by the effects of inbreeding are treatable, there are some which put the life of the pet in danger. Due to inbreeding, purebreds have become vastly inferior to their mixed cousins. The problem lies in that purebreds have developed various disorders due to their malign genes. Inbred dogs are commonly plagued with a plethora of diseases. These diseases are a direct effect of their weaker immune system. The breeding takes place in a small family of dogs; a highly reduced gene

“A dog is a man’s best friend” goes much deeper than the phrase might initially imply. Recently many medical journals have begun to identify with the many and varied benefits of pet ownership. Men have always relied upon animals for work, transportation, and survival. As times have changed, man has begun to appreciate a different bond with animals. Gone are the days of animals running free outside around the homestead, for now animals are allowed inside and are considered by many to be an integral part of our daily lives! Medical studies have found that animals have a much greater intelligence level than originally thought. Through proper training and experience, animals are not only household pets, but also are becoming an accepted form
