There are many species of animals that share a bonding with the humans.. Foremost among them, the mans most loyal friend has always been the Dog. Humans and dogs have been inseparable for thousand of years depending on each other for protection and survival. From earlier days we have relied on dogs for hunting and guarding and now more as pets for companionship, protection and their showmanship.
Dogs belong to the family Canidae which includes wolves, jackals and foxes. All modern domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) have descended from the grey wolf. There are now more than 300 different breeds of domestic dog and these are often classified into different groups according to the tasks such as hunting, guarding and herding, for which they were originally bred.
