The domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris or Canis familiaris) is a usually furry, carnivorous[1][2][3] canid carnivoran mammal. The dog, at is sib te the wolf, wis the first domesticatit beast[4][5] and hes been widely kept as a workin, huntin, and pet companion. It is estimated there is atween 700 million and ane billion domestic dogs, makin em the maist abundant member o order Carnivora.[6][7]
Their lang association wi humans hes led dogs te be uniquely attuned te human behaviour[8] and they can thrive on a stairch-rich diet at wad be inadequate for other canid species.[9] New research seems te show at dogs hes mutations tiv equivalent genetic regions i humans where changes is knawn te trigger high sociability and somewhat reduced intelligence.[10][11] Dogs varies widely by shape, size and colour.[12] Dogs performs mony roles for folk, sic as huntin, herdin, pullin laids, pertection, assistin polis and military, companionship and, mair recently, aidin handicapped individuals and therapeutic roles. This influence ower human society has gien em the sobriquet "man's best frind".
