Domesticated dogs came about when humans decided to work with wolves. While no one knows when this took place, these wolves were bred and eventually turned into the domesticated dogs we know today.

other researchers have spent time studying the relationship between humans and canines. This research has revealed a number of benefits to owning a dog. One benefit of having a dog is that it makes you healthier. A study conducted by the American Heart Association found that “Dog owners are 54 percent more likely to get the recommended amount of exercise than their non-dog owning counterparts.” Since dog owners are more likely to get the proper amount of exercise, they are also less likely to suffer from heart attacks and strokes. In addition, the outcomes for patients who have experienced a heart attack or stroke tend to be better if they have dogs.
