Domestic DogsDogs that live with humans are called domestic

dogs. Centuries ago these animals were bred, or raised, from wolves. Owners of domestic dogs found that the animals could be easily trained to hunt, to herd other animals, and to guard homes.

These days, dogs are most often companions. People have dogs as pets because they are affectionate and loyal. Pet dogs still guard homes, but now they bark at the mail carrier, not a dangerous animal.

Dogs are very intelligent. Because they can recognize their owners and even communicate with them, dogs and their owners become very close friends. Most dog owners think their dogs are the best animals in the world.
