I love dogs, which are wolf-like canids that often live with people.
I also love dogs. I don't have one right now, but used to and he was just fantastic. I miss him!
That's awesome. The dog was the first species to get domesticated and has been bred over millennia.
I knew they were part of the wolf family a long time ago, which I find really interesting. What else can you tell me about them?
Their long association with humans has led them to be attuned to human behavior. They can thrive on a starch-rich diet as well.
That would explain how my dog seemed to anticipate my behavior! Do other animals not eat starch? That's something else I didn't know.
Other canids need more protein than dogs. Dogs also vary widely in size, shape, and colors.
One of my favorite things to do is look at a dog and guess his ancestry! Sometimes its really hard to figure out.
It is hard indeed. Dogs perform many roles for humans, such as hunting, herding, assisting police, and aiding handicapped people.
