The Dog Family
The dog family is one of the 11 families that make up the Carnivores,
a large group of intelligent, flesh-eating, backboned animals. In this
group are such varied animals as bears, pandas, raccoons, cats,
hyenas, and even seal. The dog or canine family has many wild
species like wolves, foxes, coyotes, jackals, and wild dogs.
The dog is the only domesticated member of the canine family
though now and then someone tames a wolf, fox or coyote as a pet.
All members of the dog family are descendants of a wolf-like animal
which lived about 15 million years ago. From this distant ancestor,
the true dogs gradually developed. But nobody knows the exact
ancestor of the modern domestic dog.
Several wild dogs look and behave like domestic dogs. The dingo
or wild dog of Australia is one of these. It is possible that the dingo
was a tamed dog brought to Australia long ago which then ran wild.
Dogs were the first animals tamed by humans — perhaps 20,000
years ago. Tamed dogs were brought from Asia to the New World
5,000 or more years ago. Dogs were first used for hunting.
