Our Friends

Dogs make the best pets. They are faithful and friendly. They are intelligent. They love us. They live for us and can die for us. They understand us without words. They are happy to be with us and are always ready to forget our mistakes.

Domestic dogs appeared about 15,000 years ago. They were popular in Ancient Rome, Greece and Egypt. Since old times people have experimented with dogs to develop some specific characteristics, as a result we’ve got a lot of different kinds of dogs or a lot of breeds. Modern dog breeds show more differences in size, looks, and behaviour than any other domestic animal.

Dogs play many roles in human society and people often use them as working dogs. People use dogs to hunt, to guard. Greyhounds, setters, retrievers are excellent hunters and are very popular in countries where hunting is a sport. Such breeds as collies, Welsh corgis are wonderful shepherds and help to guard cows and sheep. People buy dobermans and rottweilers to protect themselves. A well-known breed of St Bernard is good at finding people in the mountains under snow. Newfoundland that is a wonderful swimmer is good at rescuing people at sea.

The police use dogs a lot. They train them to find drugs and bombs. Dogs patrol streets together with policemen. In England the police have been taking dogs to patrol streets since the 15th century.

In many countries, the most common and perhaps most important role of dogs is as companions. Dogs help people in many ways but we love them for their loyalty. Their loyalty has brought them a unique title man’s best friend.
