Dogs Biography
Dogs history is really the history of the partnership between dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) and humans. That partnership is based on human needs for help with herding and hunting, an early alarm system, and a source of food in addition to the companionship many of us today know and love. Dogs get companionship, protection and shelter, and a reliable food source out of the deal. But when this partnership first occurred is at the moment under some controversy.
Dogs history has been studied recently using mitochondrial DNA, which suggests that wolves and dogs split into different species around 100,000 years ago: but whether humans had anything to do with that, no one really knows. Recent mtDNA analysis (Boyko et al.), suggests that the origin and location of dog domestication, long thought to be in east Asia, is in some doubt.
Dog was found wallowing in a plush puppy orphanage off Nanjing Road and Daddy-O adopted him on my behalf. I was too young for the responsibility but qualified to take him in as a friend. No one knew then that I'd come to accept him and love him as my own the way I have.
He doesn't write for us and he's rarely the focus of an article, but Dog is as much a part of my entourage as drinking water, either of my brothers or the odd parent, and I've got two odd parents, so I should know.
He's been with us on our tours of China, California, the Washington Coast, and our most recent road trip to Canada. His primary function is to act as my muse and he does it with a calming, unassuming nature like none other.
Since he's a dog he ages seven times as fast as us people-folk. Though he was just a puppy* when he joined us, he's already aged beyond his years. His stuffing isn't as full as it once was and his originally flawless coat is pilling up more and more with each passing week. And, as all dogs do, he usually smells pretty bad even after a hearty frolic through the coin-op Maytag machine. He always comes back revitalized but not 100% .But come on, he's getting up there in dog years.
