The document is about dogs and includes the following key points:
1. Dogs originated from wolves and have been domesticated as pets for early humans due to their tendency to accept humans as leaders.
2. Their relationship with humans dates back thousands of years, with dogs protecting and sacrificing themselves for their human owners.
3. Dogs come in a wide variety of sizes, from over 100 pounds to under 1 kilogram, and serve various purposes like rescue, protection, and assistance for disabled humans.
4. Some human foods can be toxic to dogs, including chocolate, bones, onions/garlic, grapes/raisins, and large amounts of avocado or tomatoes. Dogs are carniv
2. Dog
• O Dog (anc. Hell. Dog) is superior mammal of the genus Canis. Its
origin comes from the common wolf. The dog is one of the most
common pets.
• His relationship with man dates back to very early times. It has
been praised and glorified many times mainly for the (innate)
tendency to accept humans as a leading member of the herd and
tied him very closely. So there have been cases of dogs that were
sacrificed for their "boss" in their attempt to save or protect him

3. Dog ….
• Legend says that when God separated the animals from humans, the dog
jumped in the river and stood beside the man. Starting from the first
canine that first approached them, the dog remains centuries to our
services. They love us from puppies until they become very old.
• The dog has evolved over time and according to the needs of each period
of time. So we find huge dogs at 100 pounds and miniature dogs that do
not exceed one kilogram. Dogs that save people from water or snow. Dogs
with long hair, a medium coat, with short hair and even hairless
Hypoallergenic. Dogs that protect us and dogs with amazing intelligence
that help us, like dogs blind guides. Whatever you say about them is not
enough. One thing is certain, let's give them the love and value they
deserve. Friends, we love dogs.
4. Food that is harmful or lethal to dogs
• Because the body of the dog can not metabolize theobromine, it must be strictly avoided to feed
or eat accidentally dog chocolate or cocoa-containing products, as this causes a syndrome with
severe symptoms (chocolate poisoning) and may lead to death .
• The bones of poultry (chicken, turkey), kid and lamb and rabbit, because shredded and become
very sharp by chewing it is likely to cause cracks and scratches in the intestines of the animal.
When you eat large animals bones there is little risk of debris created to unite the intestine and
can clog.
• Some foods if consumed in large quantities by the dog can prove toxic to him. The avocado has
toxic properties for dog, causing breathing problems, abnormal concentrations of fluid in the
chest, heart or liver and pancreatitis. Onions and garlic are destroying the red blood cells causing
anemia, general weakening and problems breathing.
• Raisins and grapes can damage the kidneys of dogs and their action is cumulative and tomatoes
cause heart arrhythmia and tremors in the animal. This is a case that is not yet accepted by all
scientists, mainly in Europe, while the investigations are still ongoing.
• The dog is a carnivore and is not appropriate to eat all foods. It is worth preferred foods rich in
proteins, carbohydrates (preferably with proper preparation because in the saliva of the dog is
not contained amylase, the enzyme necessary for the breakdown of starch [1]) such as rice, and
trace elements.
5. Special behavior of dogs
Each dog is different and his behavior can be affected by many factors, habits,
impulses, experiences and more. Dogs love rules and do what pleases you. But
many times either because they are confused about what you want to do, or
because they reward the wrong behaviors for older (eg fondle when pidagan like
puppies and now reared want to stop) or for other reasons they have some
"undesirable" behavior contrary to the wishes of their owners.
We will see the most common "undesirable" behaviors. If problems continue
you should consult a trainer or specialist canine psychology:
Digging! Jumps to greet!
Chewing! Separation Anxiety!
Beg! Biting!
Pulls the ride! Aggression!
Barking at the door! Continuous barking!
6. Special Characteristics
The dog is very clever animal that can learn to perceive between 60 and 100 words. Example, when
we tell him "come on", the dog understands and comes to us. When we say "go" dog knows he will
go ride and can bring us to wear and leash. Similarly when we say the "food" he knows it's time to
eat. When we show the sponge or the shower gel, he understands that he will make a bath.
The dog has all 5 senses (sight, smell, hearing, taste, touch) as man, but with some peculiarities.
• Vision: it is not considered as the most developed sense, after seeing only part of colors of the
solar range (shades of blue and yellow) .You but seeing more acute in very low lighting, but also to
grasp the mobility that people due to the construction of the retina of the eye has .
• Smelling: is one of the more developed senses as it may be to 100,000 times more potent than
human while having large capacity to remember odors. After training is used by humans as a
tracker dog to find game, drugs, explosive materials etc. Even for finding tumors .
• Hearing: is the second of the most developed senses, allowing the animal to perceives sounds
produced at distances four times greater than can be captured by the human hearing .
• Touching: The dog as the cat, have hairy sensors at the tip, up and around the eyes, and under the
chin.
