Owner's Hand Plays With Dogs
The domestic dog is a wolf-like canid that can be found distributed around the world. The dog descended from an ancient, now-extinct wolf with the modern wolf being the dog's nearest living relative. The dog was the first species to be domesticated by hunter–gatherers more than 15,000 years ago, which predates agriculture. Their long association with humans has led dogs to be uniquely attuned to human behavior and they can thrive on a starch-rich diet that would be inadequate for other canids.
