Have you ever simply looked at a dog, seen their tail wag and felt the uncontrollable urge to just smile at them? Dogs have been with us from the start, they came with us from caves, villages, towns, cities, and eventually to our modern day society. Dogs help us with our health by taking walks with them, with our social lives because they make us stop and talk to our neighbors, and they help disabled individuals. We are the perfect animals for each other because we are both very social species. University’s study how dogs can teach us about what it means to be human, as well as learning about the evolution of the human language. Dogs have gone from sleeping in the wilderness to our own beds. We feed, bathe, and sometimes clothe them as if they were our own family. There are close to 48 million households in the United States that have dogs according to the American Veterinary Medical Association. These are all reasons to suggest the fact that dogs are truly and undeniably man’s best friend.
