e all have heard
that dog is man‘s
best friend. This
famous phrase comes from King Frederick of Prussia who in 1789 used this expression to refer to his beloved dog. And he was right. Dogs are not only the best friends, they are also the oldest domesticated animals of humans. Dogs and humans began to coexist approximately 15,000 years ago through the people migration through East Asia. Because both are social creatures, they benefit from this social connection. Dogs can play a variety of roles in our lives, from companion and protector to helper and lifesaver. Although it may sound a bit of cliché, there are many positive benefits of having a dog for our physical and mental wellbeing.
