Almost everyone loves
dogs, myself included. They are our best friend, are companions and the best
listeners in the world. But what is it that makes dogs so special?
Dogs were the first
animals that we domesticated; we have used them as protection and hunting
partners. They have
profound way on how we think; a dog can teach you responsibility and good
health choice by walking it. A
dog functions in a social unit similar to how we do, they “are emotionally bonded
and greet each other enthusiastically after they have been separated” which we
do every day when we greet people at school. A
dog can live perfectly happy in a human environment.
We see are dogs as one
of us, “40% of owners identify their dog as a family member” this is very true
I count my dogs as part of my family. When people ask me how many are in your
family, I more often reply “3 people and 3 dogs.” They are part of our family
in a way that makes them special, dogs greet us when we get, and they will
cuddle with us on cold nights when we are alone.
But along the way have
we been domesticated by dogs as much we domesticated them? That is what the
final idea was in the article I read. It gave some good points like how the
dogs thinking part of the brain has shrunk scene it’s started out as a
wolf. Are brains have shrunk to, but not
as much. So do we believe it is the entire thing is because of our dog or have the
advancements in technology slowed down are brain growth and we don’t need as
high senses as we us to so those parts of our brain have shrunk in size.
Whatever it is all I do know is that a dog is a man’s best
friend.
