not closely related to the wolves that were first domesticated,[10][11] which
implies that the direct ancestor of the dog is extinct.[12] The dog was the first
domesticated species[11][13] and has been selectively bred over millennia for
various behaviors, sensory capabilities, and physical attributes.[14]

New research seems to show that the dog's high sociability may be affected by "the
same genes as in humans."[15][16] Their long association with humans has led dogs
to be uniquely attuned to human behavior[17] and they are able to thrive on a
starch-rich diet that would be inadequate for other canid species.[18] Dogs vary
widely in shape, size and colours.[19] Dogs perform many roles for people, such as
hunting, herding, pulling loads, protection, assisting police and military,
companionship and, more recently, aiding handicapped individuals and therapeutic
roles. This influence on human society has given them the sobriquet "man's best
