Nobody knows how the friendship between the man
and the dog began:
Whether it came to the man by the smell of the food
and the warmth of the fire,
Or the man brought the cub of wolf to his dwelling
and tamed it. But nevertheless, the dog is true friend
and constant companion of a man for many
thousand years. Skeletons and bones of dogs are
found by archeologists at the places of excavations
where prehistoric people lived. Ancient artists drew
the pictures of the dogs on the rocks .In ancient
Greece and Rome the dogs were so spread and
valued so high that scientists and poets dedicated
their poems and scientific works to them.
Of course ,dogs have not always been the ones we
know nowadays. People began to create new breeds
of dogs, using their natural qualities: a fine sense of
smell, keen ear, strength and deftness. There are
more than four hundred breeds of dogs now.
But the main quality of the dog is not in it’s working
skills and tricks which it can be taught .The
invaluable merit of the dog is in it’s unselfish love
and devotion to the man. In many cities of the world
there are monuments to the dogs-the the signs of
memory and gratitude of the man to his four-legged
friend.
