!! About 14,000 years ago, human beings and dogs began a partnership that has " lasted through the years. Our interactions may have begun when wolves came close to our homes, attracted by the smell of human garbage, or when humans found wolf puppies and trained them to be loving pets. Today, by means of the careful selection of dog parents, humans have created many different breeds* of dog. Each breed has its own look and talents, and its own # role within human society. Here are three examples of a dog s life in the human world. Today, many hospitals let specially trained dogs in to bring love and cheer to patients. Shaynee the wheaten terrier* is a therapy dog. She visits children who are fighting deadly diseases. Dogs like Shaynee help patients feel calm and at $ % peace, which can be hard in a busy hospital. They help both children and adults stay strong during long hospital stays, and, some suggest, even help them get better. Today, some beagles* work in airports for the government. They are part of a program called the Beagles Brigade. A beagle is good for this type of work because of its powerful nose, and ability to track smells. The Beagle Brigade s job is to smell everything that comes into the country. They alert officers to illegal fruits, & vegetables, and other foods in luggage or in mail. The beagles do the job far
better than any human could. Some of the dogs are donated by private owners;! others were rescued from animal shelters. While some dogs are working hard, others are free to spend their days resting and playing. Across the world, many pet dogs are treated like children. Many have their own rooms and all the things a dog could want. Some even have their own clothes. Many of these pampered* pets spend their days playing, learning to be obedient, or even going to yoga (or doga) classes. Their owners give them the best, and enjoy doing so. Whether as workers or objects of " affection, dogs have become # beneficial to humans in many ways. There are plenty of advantages for the dog, too. Many $ species of wild dogs have nearly disappeared from the Earth. However, the domestic dog s special place as man s best friend has allowed it to survive in a human world.
