Why do we use canine to mean dogs and why isn't there a synonym for it?

We actually do not know linguistically where "dog" comes from, although it is likely a derivative of Germanic words for strength. The Germanic word, which would have been used would have been "hund" from which have "hound". The Latin word was "canis" from which we have "canine", as in "dog-like". The fact that English was a hybrid of Germanic words and Latin words means that we have words that are very similar in meaning but very different in sound.As for the lack of a synonym for canine, we do have one: dog-like. Dog-like is simply far less popular than canine."Canine" actually means "doglike" or "pertaining to dogs". It comes from the Latin word "canus" which means a dog. Thus we have "canine teeth" (teeth which look like dogs' teeth) or "canine patrols" (patrols which use dogs) or "canine hospitals" (hospitals for dogs) and so on. Sometimes it is used as a facetious synonym for "dog", although wolves and foxes are also canine animals and are sometimes called "canines".Obviously there are synonyms for "canine". "Dog" and "doglike" spring to mind.
