Dogs are considered to be the most popular pet in our modern world. Dogs are ideal pets because they are loyal, playful, loving, attentive, protective and highly intelligent.
Dogs play a significant role in modern society. Their capability to learn has enabled them to act as hearing dogs for the deaf, guide dogs for the blind, sheep-herding dogs, bomb-sniffing dogs and a lot more. Dogs are also serving a therapeutic role in hospitals and nursing homes for they provide companionship and a calming presence for those who are ill or elderly.
Dogs exist in a variety of colours, shapes, sizes, coats and breeds. There are over 800 dog breeds recognised by various kennel clubs around the world. Dog breeds are typically classified as hounds, working dogs, terriers, gundogs, pastoral, utility and toy. The behaviour of dogs depends on their breed and the way they are looked after by their owners and others who come into contact with them. Hence, taking on a dog as a pet should not be taken lightly.
Dogs need attention, love, care and proper training. Actually, owning a dog is like having your own child. As a social animal, dogs crave for attention, so, it is not good to leave a dog alone for a long time. Dogs left alone for long periods of time can even lead to destructive behaviour. Dogs also need regular grooming, veterinary treatment and exercise. However, the rewards that offer through their loyalty and love is second to none.
