Some animals are working animals - herding dogs, sled dogs, horses, mules, cows (Pulling carts), explosive, bomb or drug sniffing dogs, scent tracking dogs, seals and dolphins trained by the Navy for security, Search and Rescue dogs, elephants (transportation and moving objects), etc...

Animals produce and serve as food for humans.

Animals provide us with materials - fur, hides, leather, ivory, sinew, bone, which we can make into housing (teepee, yurts), clothing, tools, etc...

Animals can be beneficial in controlling harmful animals and plants - weed eating goats herds, ladybugs eating aphids, etc... Snakes keep down rodent and insect populations that can carry diseases harmful to humans.
