Hi there!
So you might me a new dog owner? Or you might have had a dog for a while? That doesn't matter everyone is welcome here, dog or no dog! On this site you will find out as much as you need to know about dogs including how to tell if your dog is ill, how to choose the correct puppy or rescue dog and how to read your dogs body language!
So where do dogs actually come from?
It is widely believed that dogs come from wolves, and from recent DNA tests it proved those who did believe were correct! Wolves! As the years have gone by dogs have obviously changed shapes and sizes as our companions, big or little wouldn't be here today. It is also believed that dogs have been around for little over 17,000 years (although we do see them appear in the bible!) and that in the last hundred centuries they have been working alongside us humans hence the name mans best friend. Wolves evolved in to dogs and then those wild dogs evolved into the dogs that live in our homes today. A bit like humans and apes really- Without apes we wouldn't be here as we evolved from them.
