Many cultures explain the way dogs came to be man's best friend.

One religion says that man one day went looking for fruit to eat, as man hadn't yet learned to hunt. The man couldn't find any fruit because of the big floods, so went looking for items to hunt the animals of the forest with. The man couldn't catch the birds, the monkeys and the wild cats very well, so hunted fish. He caught so many. The God got angry because all the fish were nearly gone. God decided to turn some fish into dogs to help Man kill all the animals to keep them even. While the man returned to catch fish, the dog had caught a monkey at his feet and gave it to the man.

The scientific way dogs were the first domestic animal because they were great at hunting and had great noses to smell with. The cave men found dogs and saw they caught well, so tried to tame dogs to hunt for the cave men. Since the dogs where very wild back then, it took a while. A least one cave man kept a dog as a pet and handed down the idea from generation to generation, and look what's happened now!

Similarities of wild dogs to domestic dogs?

A domestic dog is one that is bred and raised in captivity to live in the world of humans. Pets are domestic dogs, as are police dogs and others trained to work for humans. Police dogs are owned by police departments and are specially trained to assist in police work. Some work in apprehending suspects while others work in detecting things like drugs or bombs. Wild dogs are those who descend from dogs who have been abandoned or lost. They live as scavengers on the outskirts of human civilization. Some subsist on garbage and others kill pets or live stock to survive. --------------------------- Quote: "A police dog is simply a specially trained domestic dog. Wild dogs come in two varieties: wolves and feral domestic dogs (which are domestic dogs that have developed packs outside of human society and act wild). Currently, scientists do not consider wolves and dogs to be different species but rather different subspecies." The person who wrote this is not a scientist certainly not one who can make a general staement like this. The difference is many years of selective breeding for specific abilities. Dogs with certain personalities, certain bodies, smelling capabilites etc. have been chosen to be used as police dogs. Wild dogs have lived because of the "survival of the fittest". Wild dogs and police dogs have different attributes but the way they have developed is entirely different.
