Where Are Dogs: Where Did They Come From?

Many people have wrong information about pit bulls. “After adopting a pit bull herself, Dickey was shocked to witness the negative responses her pet evoked” (Kirkus). These dogs are very smart, and most everybody does not realize that. They are very easy to train and learn things quickly. Back in the day, pit bulls were used to help hunters hunt and kill bears. They are very affectionate towards their owners. They like to remind you regularly of how they feel towards and that means a lot of kisses and tail wagging.

    Dogs have been domesticated for over 10,000 years. Food from the humans would bring the dogs to them, and the dogs would bark at predators when they came so the people started to feed the dogs to keep them around. In the 1’st century AD in China Roman mosaics show evidence of the present day Pekingese and Roman ladies also had lap dogs. They believe the dogs warmth cures stomach aches. The earliest evidence of any domesticated dog is a jawbone found in Iraq in a cave about 12,000 years ago. We know it is a jawbone of a dog because a jawbone of a wolf is smaller and the teeth is smaller.

Dogs are the closest creature to man. Sure they are considered as best friend by some. Compared to others, they show an attitude of a friend. They stay beside you no matter what. They also have this sacrificial attitude for their owners. Their being playful and sweet is also remarkable, to the extent that you find yourself longing for them.

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.

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.

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 starts of directly lacking correctness to its first claim, “Within the past decade, pets-primarily dogs-have soared in importance.”(Metz 238). The evidence toward this claim (quote from a bark magazine) is incorrect because the claim can not be true. Dogs have been important or seen as one to the family for more than only the past decade. The idea that dogs are just now growing in importance is shut down by Neil Pemberton and Julie- Marie Strange in the scholarly journal “Dogs in History and Culture” when they inform readers that, “In 2011, the biologist John Bradshaw reflected that dogs had been ‘man’s best friend’ for thousands of years. Versatile and companionate, dogs had adopted to the myriad roles humans had assigned them

Back then, the wolf-like dogs would have been used for hunting thanks to their amazing hearing and excellent smell. These traits would help the hunters tremendously. The hunters also used them as guard dogs for their livestock. Also, if the hunters were ever attacked by an enemy, the wolf-like dogs would have come in very handy as another warrior on the battle field since wolves are faster and stronger than humans. Having a loyal animal is useful in many ways when the world used to be wild and untamed. Plus, the lack of technology in the past would make it seem that a tamed animal would equal that of a machine.

Cute, fun, loving, cuddly, outgoing; these are only a few words to describe the animals that we have come to know and love as a part of our families. Dogs have been man’s best friend for hundreds of years and were the first animal to be domesticated because they are great as companions, highly intelligent, and were found to be very useful in human’s everyday lives. Even though they made excellent house pets they were highly successful at working side by side humans as well. They are not limited to being just best friends, but they have been found to be protectors and saviors as well, to their owners, others people and even other dogs too. One type of working dogs in

Canis lupus familiaris, also known as man’s best friend. Man’s best friend has been around for many years. The dog, Canis familiaris, is a direct descendent of the gray wolf, Canis lupus: In other words, dogs as we know them are domesticated wolves. Not only their behavior changed; domestic dogs are different in form from wolves, mainly smaller and with shorter muzzles and smaller teeth (PBS 2001). With that being said, the earliest dogs were wolves. The earliest known humans took them in, started hunting with them and eventually turned them into one of our most faithful pets.

Thousands of years ago the wolves stepped out of the forest and transformed in an evolutionary blink of the eye into what we now call a “dog”. They originated from East Asia and changed the human life forever. From the descendants of ancient wild dogs in Papua New Guinea to a hairless breed is thought to have magical powers in Mexico. Without dogs, we would still be hunters and gatherers if it wasn’t for dogs. We would also lack guardians and expert guides.

The dogs before were wolves and one day they became man's best friend and this is how they became man's best friend before all men came to the jungles and married any animal to survive and married all the animals they saw also married the wolves used them to catch animals and trained them well to marry animals and every day they took them out to catch animals and also used them to run in the snow and with heavy load they used them and at night when men rested in the snow they left the wolves outside and the wolves tried to enter the camp to not feel very cold outside and the men would take them to palliate and and they were very hard to leave in the end all the wolves had to sleep outside and the wolves used it for many things before before

Dogs were domesticated to do many different jobs. Some jobs domesticated dogs used to do thousands of years ago were farming and hunting. Each job required different breeds of dogs because some dogs have better senses for some jobs than others, here are some examples. For a dog to be a good farm dog it has to be intelligent and able to follow directions. A good breed of dog for this job would probably be a german shepherd according to the article “ A review of domestic dogs.”

(American Museum of Natural History, n.d.) Although the oldest fossil of a domesticated dog comes from a 14,000 years old dog, the DNA evidence shows that the time of dogs diverged from wolves are earlier than that, it was been estimated from 15,000 to more than 100,000 years ago. That makes dogs the earliest domesticated animals. Scientists can only guess how dogs and humans become friendly, there are two popular theories: one suggests that humans picked up and fed the wolf cubs and eventually been able to tame them; the other one suggests that some tamer wolves were always looking for food in human garbage area, and these tamer wolves survived and eventually evolved into dogs by natural selection.
