(street) dog

Description:

Domestic dogs come in a bewildering variety of shapes and sizes. They have been selectively bred for millenia for various behaviors, sensory capabilities, and physical attributes, including dogs bred for herding livestock (collies, sheperds, etc.), different kinds of hunting (pointers, hounds, etc.), catching rats (small terriers), guarding (mastiffs, chows), helping fishermen with nets (Newfoundlands, poodles), pulling loads (huskies, St. Bernard's), guarding carriages and horsemen (dalmatians), and as companion dogs. Some kinds were even bred simply as lap warmers (Pekingese). Their basic morphology though, no matter how modified, is that of their wild ancestors, gray wolves.

Habitat:

Domestic dogs are now found worldwide

Notes:

i saw them at kanpur ..."this is amazing to see a mother dog feeding her puppies". Man’s best friend. The dog-human bond has existed for 10-15 thousand years, from the beginning, where man recognized dogs to be very much like themselves-pack animals and hunters.
