Hey there! The dog is known by scientific name of "Canis lupus familiaris" or "Canis familiaris".
That is interesting.  I just love dogs.  I have a pug. Do you have any yourself?
Not currently. The closest living relative to the dog is the gray wolf? Kinda cool to think about!
Is that really ture
Yep that's true! There's no evidence that any other canine had contributed to its genetics.
Wow fascinating.  You know your canine history.  Wolves are such amazing creatures I never realised they were related to the domestic dog.
Isn't it cool to think about that? Especially given how diverse dogs are, and vary so much! From the pug to the Borzoi to the Great Dane!
I know. They really are such beautiful diverse animals.  Exactly why they say they are a mans best friend!
