Dogs

A high quality collection of photos and pictures of dogs. They are domesticated, carnivorous mammals that typically have a long snout, an acute sense of smell, non-retractable claws, and a barking, howling, or whining voice. Their latin name is Canis familiaris from the family Canidae. The modern pet dog was probably domesticated from the wolf during the Mesolithic period approximately 10000 years ago. It is probably the most popular pet in the world and is commonly known as “man’s best friend” due to its reliable, devoted and protective nature. There are many recognised breeds of domestic dogs in the world including german shepherds, yorkshire terriers, great danes, chihuahuas and boxer dogs. The dog family also includes other wild animals such as wolves, coyotes, jackals, dingos and foxes.
