Humans played an important part in domesticating the dog. This took a 15,000 year span to fully domesticate the dog, throughout these years we have designated a wide variety of jobs singling out the best breeds for individual jobs e.g, collies took up the roll of herding, retrievers fetching game, spaniels retrieving and flushing out game, rottweilers, Doberman and German Shepard's gard and protection, terriers for ratting, and sled dogs. Not forgetting all breeds being used as companions as now thay stand(along with some of the breeds listed above).

basically humans domesticated and provided a warm home with unlimited food supplies for our companions, AS NOW THEY STAND!!!!!!!!!!!
