Dog

pets · loyal · super smart

Wolf relatives. Dogs are descended from wolves, and the two still share a common ancestor. That cute puppy has a wild family tree!

First friends. Dogs were the very first animal humans ever tamed, more than 14,000 years ago. That's even before people started farming!

Super ancient bond. Some genetic studies suggest dogs and humans started teaming up over 25,000 years ago.

Snack power. Because they've lived with us so long, dogs can thrive on starchy foods that wouldn't work for wild wolves.
