Information

Dogs are four-legged domesticated animals descended from wolves. They are omnivores, consuming animals and vegetation. Dogs have been domesticated by humans for 15,000 years for protection and to help with hunting and are likely the first animal ever domesticated. Over the years, many of the traits of wild wolves softened, as dogs became less aggressive, some gainining traits such as floppy ears, and much smaller size. In many countries, dogs are known as "human's best friend" because of their friendly, outgoing personalities.

Dogs come in all shapes and sizes due to breeding, and now there are around 450 recognized dog breeds.
