Do you like dogs?
Love them.  The official name for a domestic dog is actually canis lupus
Canis lupus familiaris or Canis familiaris depending on if dogs are considered a sub species of the gray wolf or not, actually.
Ah you know your stuff indeed.  Aparently the direct ancestor of the dog is extinct but would be now most closely linked to the extrant gray wolf
Which is really cool! What's your favorite dog breed? I'm fond of smaller dogs like dachshunds and corgis.
I love pugs to be honest.  I have two. We have so many types of pets these days but dog was the first ever species to be domesticated and bred for various behaviours and physical attributes.
Yep! And they're so diverse! They really are man's best friend.
I completely agree.  When you think of the roles a dog may carry out such as hunting, herding, aiding disabled individuals, assisting police and military and of course they are the best companions!
Plus, they are quite cute! 
they really are!! and they are just so attune to human behaviour it is unreal.
