Beside TV, lazy chair, bed and comfortable mattresses however unanimous dog is still consider a man's best friend

. What man know about this best friend? and why dog got this title? What did dog has done to get this title? The dog (Canis lupus familiaris, pronounced /?ke?.n?s ?lu?p?s f??m?li??r?s/) is a domesticated form of the wolf, a member of the Canidae family of the order Carnivora. The term is used for both feral and pet varieties. The domestic dog has been one of the most widely kept working and companion animals in human history. Amongst canine enthusiasts, the word "dog" may also mean the male of a canine species, as opposed to the word "bitch" for the female of the species. The dog quickly became ubiquitous across culture across the world, and was extremely valuable to early human settlements. For instance, it is believed that the successful emigration across the Bering Strait might not have been possible without sled dogs. Dogs perform many roles for people, such as hunting, herding, protection, assisting police and military, companionship, and, more recently, aiding handicapped individuals. This versatility, more than almost any other known animal, has given them the nickname "Man's best friend" in the western world. Currently, there are estimated to be 400 million dogs in the world. Over the 15,000 year span that the dog had been domesticated, it diverged into only a handful of landraces, groups of similar animals whose morphology and behavior have been shaped by environmental factors and functional roles. As the modern understanding of genetics developed, humans began to intentionally breed dogs for a wide range of specific traits. Through this process, the dog has developed into hundreds of varied breeds, and shows more behavioral and morphological variation than any other land mammal, For example, height measured to the withers ranges from a few inches in the Chihuahua to a few feet in the Irish Wolfhound; color varies from white through grays (usually called "blue'") to black, and browns from light (tan) to dark ("red" or "chocolate") in a wide variation of patterns; coats can be short or long, coarse-haired to wool-like, straight, curly, or smooth. It is common for most breeds to shed this coat, but non-shedding breeds are also popular. Dogs have lived and worked with humans in so many roles that they have earned the unique nickname, "man's best friend", a phrase which is used in other languages as well. They have been bred for herding livestock, hunting (e.g. pointers and hounds), rodent control, guarding, helping fishermen with nets, and pulling loads, in addition to their roles as companions. Service dogs such as guide dogs, utility dogs, assistance dogs, hearing dogs, and psychological therapy dogs provide assistance to individuals with physical or mental disabilities. Some dogs owned by epileptics have been shown to alert their handler when the handler shows signs of an impending seizure, sometimes well in advance of onset, allowing the owner to seek safety, medication, or medical care. Domesticated dogs got advantages that wolves never hadmore safety, more reliable food, lesser caloric needs, and more chance to breed. Humans have an upright gait that give them larger range over which to see both potential predators and prey, as well as color vision that at least by day give humans better warning of predators that could be dangerous to both humans and dogs. With their tool use, humans could get dogs to take more specialized roles in a hunt. Humans and dogs together could hunt prey that neither humans nor wolves could detect and subdue without aid from the other. Dogs and humans together out-competed other large predators and crowded wild wolves, bears, and big cats out in their range and thus share the top of the food chain. Human families and wolf packs have similar structures, but unlike the wolf pack, the human family did not suppress the mating of canine associates even if a man and woman had the dog in clear subordination. The sorts of canines that might never bred had they been in a wolf pack were able to breed earlier and more often. Although humans could never travel at the pace of wolves or dogs, they did not need to travel as far to find prey.
