There can be few animals that engender in us such an active sense of love,trust and companionship as dogs.Known as man's best friend,they're always pleased to see us and happy just to be with us,whether it's in the car,by the fireside or simply having a stroll.
Amazingly then,to think that these lovely tame animals are,according to DNA research and fossil evidence,descended from wolves and domesticated as little as 15,000 years ago somewhere in East Asia before being taken with the first peoples into North America.
