The dog, also known as a canine, has been man’s best friend for over 20,000 years. Dogs have a strong association with humans especially in early human civilization. Dogs were believed to have been domesticated from wolves according to history. Ancient people used dogs to assist them in hunting, and it is believed that dogs provided security by alerting them to danger. In today’s breeds, dogs are adorned with many features to meet the needs of the public. Evolution has also bred out or disappeared many of their intimidating wolf-like features. In the present day, dogs still help people by being companions, such as seeing eye dogs or service dogs. They may also herd animals, hunt and do other tasks dictated to them. Currently there are over 200 breeds of dogs all over the world. When you decide to give your dog a DNA test it can help you take care of your best friend and help it experience the best dog years it can.
