Did you know that dogs are wolves that have mutated to becoming tame and mans best friend all because of the effect of human beings on them! Its really crazy to think that humans are the reason dogs exist!

Wow, "humans run the world"? Funny. Anywho, dogs aren't exactly wolves, but DO come from wolves. Back in the day, people would tame wolves, and they would become pets like dogs for us. It's amazing how you can still see the resemblance in certain dogs like Huskies. Some look exactly like wolves!

Not true. Dogs as we know them are not simply wolves with a human impact...they have been bred to show desired characteristics. Wolves are wolves and dogs do exist only because of humans but are not wolves. Humans run the world, so we use the animals to suit our needs, in this case for companionship, hunting, protection etc...

no dogs are descendants of wolves,at one point in time dogs were like wolves but its with human contact and human breeding of dogs that they have come to be the animals we love!

I knew that, bu dogs have been domesticated for a long period of time. I think it has been at least 10,000 years. Dogs have been domesticated longer than cats have. I think it is something that people have gotten really in touch with recently. I like dogs and think they are really super pets. Cats are really cool also.
