Dogs are More Than Pets
Dogs are unique animals because they can immediately become a part of your family. If you have had your dog for a long time there is no question this is true.From prehistoric times, there has been a strong bond between humans and animals.
Just imagine, a prehistoci hunter finds a lost wolf cub and brings the cub home and cares for it.Eventually, they may have found out that the cub became a part of their family. To top it off the hunter probably found that the wolf was helpful for practical reasons as well.
Part of the reason for this is because wolves and dogs in general have similar social systems to those in the human world.A dominant adult male leads all others in the pack to help them survive. If the leader oversteps his boundaries then a strong and competent female will step in.
A dog pack must work together just like a human family. There are social bonds and loyalty on both sides.A group of dogs will always come together when it matters, even if they fight at other times.
Dogs have numerous strengths. They are incredibly alert, have a strong sense of smell and many are superior hunters. Their ability to survive on something as small as food scraps makes them ideal to have around whether you’re referring to ancient or modern times.
Of course, the wolf pack that prehistoric man would have found isn’t quite as gentle and kind as the dogs we keep in our homes today.Just as dogs today are suitable to our family environment, wolves were suited to the personalities of prehistoric people. It is our own domestication of dogs that makes them more and more suitable to living the family lifestyle with each passing generation of dog.
A strong bond was created by the mesh created between the human culture and the dog culture.No matter if your dog is primarily a companion or a working dog, he is your friend for life.
You might not use the dog as you primary means of survival like some groups did years ago, but it’s likely your dog has its own role.Some of the roles of dogs today are..
Herding stock
• Detecting drugs
Leading the blind
Home protection
• Rescue services
Beyond those extraordinary roles your dog can develop a special, emotional bond with you and the other members of your family. Whether you’re ready to have a good time or need some extra comforting, your dog will be there.
You must nurture and care for your dog for her to thrive.As long as you give them food and attention you will have a friend for life.
