Puppy Care

Dogs are unique animals because they can immediately become a part of your family.If you have had your dog a long time then you know this is true.The animal and human bond goes back to prehistoric times.

Imagine a prehistoric hunter finding a lost wolf cub in the woods and bringing the animal home to care for it.They probably realized that the cub fit quite nicely into their home.  To top it off the hunter probably found that the wolf was helpful for practical reasons as well.

Part of the reason for this is because wolves and dogs in general have similar social systems to those in the human world.A dominant adult male leads all others in the pack to help them survive.  If the leader oversteps his boundaries then a strong and competent female will step in.

Just like your family, a pack of dogs must work together.Both sides have social bonds and loyalty.  It doesn’t matter whether this family group or pack of dogs fight, they are always united and come together when it matters.

Dogs have a great number of strengths.They are incredibly alert and have a strong sense of smell.  Their ability to survive on something as small as food scraps makes them ideal to have around whether you’re referring to ancient or modern times.

Of course, the wolf pack that prehistoric man would have found isn’t quite as gentle and kind as the dogs we keep in our homes today.Just as dogs today are suitable to our family environment, wolves were suited to the personalities of prehistoric people.  It is our own domestication of dogs that makes them more and more suitable to living the family lifestyle with each passing generation of dog.

The bond between dog culture and human culture is very strong.  It doesn’t matter what kind of dog you have or whether it’s primarily a companion or a working dog, it is a friend that will stick with you for life.

You might not use the dog as you primary means of survival like some groups did years ago, but it’s likely your dog has its own role.Some of the roles of dogs today are..

Stock herding on farms
Finding illegal drugs
•    Helping lead the blind
•    Guarding homes and businesses
•    Rescue services

Beyond those extraordinary roles your dog can develop a special, emotional bond with you and the other members of your family.Your dog will be there to comfort you and play with you.  

You must nurture and care for your dog for her to thrive.As long as you give them food and attention you will have a friend for life.
