For thousands of years, humans and dogs have derived benefit from the relationship with each other. Because both humans and canines have a similar nature for close family or pack relationships, they have developed the ability to include each other in those relationships. Some of the ways that this works for both species are a dogs ability to learn to perform jobs for humans based on their canine instincts, jobs that give them exercise and satisfaction and humans derive the benefit from the use of these abilities; both canine and human nature requires companionship and each can provide the other with reliable companionship to the advantage to humans that dogs only need their basic needs met to be faithful companions who don't judge or have issue with humans' frailties.
