Dogs are members of the Canidae family of mammals. Most of them are good runner, with muscular, deep chested bodies and slender legs.

They have four toes on each paw, plus a thumb like toe on each forepaw and sometimes on the rear feet as well. They walk on their toes, which are well padded. Dogs have 42 teeth – some for gripping and tearing flesh, some for cutting and others for grinding food.

Dogs have superb hearing and fairly good eyesight, but their keenest sense is smell, which can detect the faintest scent days or even weeks after its sources has gone.

Dogs use their voices regularly. They bark to raise an alarm, to show aggression or fear, or as a cry for help. Growing usually means “stay away” or “I’m going to bite”. They may also howl, whimper, or whine to show their feelings.

The dogs we know as pets are descended from wolves. They were domesticated, or tamed and raised by people, more than 12.000 years ago.

Today dogs depend on people for food, shelter, and safety. They give a great deal in return. Some are trained to guard property. Others herd farm animals, work with hunters, sniff out bombs or drugs at airports, or search for survivors at disaster scenes. Specially trained dogs assist people who cannot see or hear, or who use a wheelchair.
