Throughout the ages, people have claimed dogs as their closest friends. Dogs serve many roles - protector, helper, lifesaver, and companion. They are incredible friends to people and have been for centuries. 

Dogs and people began living together over 15,000 years ago when dogs followed the human migration throughout East Asia. 

Despite sharing 99% of their DNA with wolves, domestic dogs have evolved to be remarkably different. They are not just social pack animals but also thrive on attention and affection, making them the perfect candidate for a human's best friend.

As dogs have become domesticated, they have come to rely on us for survival. In turn, we find that we need them just as much. This mutual dependence has fostered a symbiotic relationship, with most dog owners considering their pets as family members. A faithful dog at home provides us with a listening ear, a warm paw to hold, and even strong legs to run beside.

Dogs have proven themselves time and again to be loyal, kind, understanding, and have an indomitable spirit. They greet us happily after what may have been the worst day of our lives and make us feel better with a wag of their tail and a playful grin.

Whether they're herding sheep, hunting game, supporting people with disabilities, or simply acting as a companion unlike any other, dogs help humans with day-to-day tasks, many of which may not be possible without them.
