wolf (Canis lupus). Believed to have been domesticated over 15,000 years
ago, dogs have since evolved alongside humans, becoming one of the most diverse
species with over 340 recognized breeds. This diversity is evident in their
size, coat color, and behavioral traits, ranging from the tiny Chihuahua to the
large Great Dane.<o:p></o:p><p style="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">Dogs are social animals known for their loyalty and
companionship. They possess a keen sense of smell and hearing, making them
excellent working animals in roles such as herding, hunting, and
search-and-rescue. Their intelligence allows them to learn commands and tasks,
contributing to their roles as service and therapy animals.<o:p></o:p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">Domesticated dogs thrive in various environments, adapting to
