Dear reader, the video is a little lower. The dog is a domesticated descendant of wolves and has been one of humanity’s closest companions for thousands of years. Also known as the domestic dog, it was selectively bred during the Late Pleistocene by hunter-gatherers long before the development of agriculture. Genetic studies suggest the domestication process may have begun more than 25,000 years ago.
Because of their long relationship with humans, dogs have adapted remarkably well to human environments and diets. Over time, they have been bred for specific behaviors, abilities, and physical traits, leading to the wide variety of breeds seen today. Dogs differ greatly in size, shape, and color, but all are known for their loyalty, intelligence, and strong senses.

They communicate through body language, facial expressions, vocal sounds, and even scent signals. Today, the global dog population is estimated to be between 700 million and 1 billion, making dogs one of the most widespread and beloved animals in the world.
