The dog (Canis familiaris or Canis lupus familiaris) is a domesticated descendant of the wolf, and perhaps one of mankind’s earliest and most important achievements. Over 15,000 years ago hunter-gatherers were plagued routinely by Pleistocene wolves who competed with them for food and territory. Through a concentrated campaign of capturing, conditioning, and selective breeding, these early humans were able to turn a deadly foe into a cunning, loyal ally, eventually using them to drive their own ancestors into extinction. Due to their long association with humans, dogs make up the largest number of domesticated breeds of any species in the world, and gained the ability to thrive on a starch-rich diet that would be inadequate for other canids. The many roles they perform for humans like hunting, herding, protection, and companionship has had such a strong influence on human society that they earned the sobriquet “man’s best friend.” Both Eastern and Western works of art have depicted dogs as symbols of guidance, fidelity, faithfulness, alertness, and love. In ancient Mesopotamia dogs were the symbol of Ninisina, the goddess of healing and medicine, and in the Neo-Assyrian and Neo-Babylonian periods dogs served as emblems of magical protection. In Chinese, Korean, and Japanese history dogs were mostly viewed as kind protectors, and sometimes as a form of sustenance due to their proliferation and domesticity. Greek, Persian, Norse, Welsh, and Hindu mythologies all speak of dogs guarding important places, such as the entrances to heaven or hell, and the Latin name for the Dominican Order, Domini canis, literally means “dog of the Lord.” This widespread symbiotic relationship has made dogs one of the most popular figures in all literature, art, and oral history throughout the world.
