Hey there! The dog is known by scientific name of "Canis lupus familiaris" or "Canis familiaris".
That is interesting.  I just love dogs.  I have a pug. Do you have any yourself?
Not currently. The closest living relative to the dog is the gray wolf? Kinda cool to think about!
Is that really ture
Yep that's true! There's no evidence that any other canine had contributed to its genetics.
