I have a blue heeler dog. He is such a great pet. Do you have a dog?
I don't but I really want one! They were the first species to be domesticated and bred by humans.
Wow, that is really interesting. Do you know how long ago dogs started living with humans?
Well the first remains of a dog and a human buried together was 14,700 years ago!
No kidding. That explains why dogs are man's best friend today. They help us with so much, including disability assistance, policing, emotional support.
They do even more than just that too, they are used for hunting, herding, pulling loads, and even used to help the police and military.
Yes, my dog was bred to herd cattle. He is very active and needs lots of exercise.
Herding dogs are great and usually really smart, but dogs come in all shapes, sizes, and colors too.
