Dogs were originally used for hunting and protection, but they have since evolved into valued companions and working animals.
In ancient Egypt, dogs were considered sacred and often mummified and buried with their owners.
They were used as guards, herders, and even in battle in ancient Rome.
As humans began to settle into agricultural societies, dogs were trained to help with tasks such as herding and guarding livestock.
In modern times, dogs are used in all sorts of roles, such as police, guide dogs and therapy dogs.
Dogs are still an important part of human life today.
