Dog is a man’s best friend. Ever since man can remember, dogs have always known to be very loyal towards its master. That’s not without any reason; researches have shown that a dog was one of the first animals to be tamed. But nobody can ascertain till date how it was done. In Europe, a painting in a cave, which dates back to 50,000 years in time, depicts an animal that resembles a dog hunting with other men. However, there are fossil remains, which show the association of dogs with man only after 10,000 B.C.
Owning a dog as a pet is very common not just in Australia, but also almost everywhere in the world
