They are as warm as a cozy blanket; gentle as the soft breeze of the sea, ferocious as the king of the jungle
himself and in terms of loyalty they could beat any competition. You guessed it right- Dogs.
They are very few amongst us who can escape their charm. Over a period of time, dogs have developed into
hundreds of breeds with a great degree of variation.
Their colors vary from white through grays to black, andbrowns in a tremendous variation of patterns;
and coats can be anything from very short to severalcentimeters long, from coarse hair to something
akin to wool, straight or curly. |

HUMAN RELATIONSHIP |
| |
Dogs are highly social animals and this similarity in their overall behavioral patterns accounts for their trainability,
playfulness, and ability to fit into human households and social situations. The loyalty and devotion that dogs
demonstrate as part of their natural instincts as pack animals closely mimic the human idea of love and
friendship.
Conversely, dogs seem to view their human companions as members of their pack. Dogs fill a
variety of roles in human society and are often trained as working dogs. In many countries, the most
common and perhaps most important role of dogs is that of companionship.
Dogs have lived with and worked with human beings in so many roles that their loyalty has earned them the
unique sobriquet ‘man’s best friend’. Surprisingly, in some cultures, dogs are considered to be unclean.
In other parts of the world, they are raised as livestock to produce dog meat for human consumption and in
some places the consumption of dog meat is discouraged by social conventions or cultural taboos. |

INTELLIGENCE |
| |
Among dog lovers, dogs are generally valued for their intelligence, and both anecdotal evidence and scientific
research suggest that dogs have a reasonably high intelligence. For example, Border Collies are noted for their
ability to learn commands, while other breeds may not be so motivated towards obedience, but instead show
their cleverness in devising ways to steal food or escape from a yard. Being highly adaptable animals
themselves, dogs have learned to do a great number of very eclectic jobs as man has required over
the generations. |
