[When they say: Dogs are man’s best friend, they really should say: White man’s best friend. Dogs are the most successful genetic experiment of the White race. But we have experimented massively with other animals: horses, cattle, cats, etc. We are the Gods of genetic experimentation. Yet, we never apply the logic of this to ourselves. Dogs, horses and cattle are the most insanely successful genetic experiment of all time. We bred animals to be our slaves and our food. Originally, with horses, we used to eat them. Later we learned how to make them pull chariots and later still we turned them into a mode of transport. All of these are amazing successes. Dogs and horses have done so much for us, and we in turn have a linkage to them. I have wondered, if, using future science, if we can do more with these animals and others. Perhaps even sea creatures. I know the US Navy has experimented with using animals. I love the idea of using animals, and modifying them in many ways for future use. I remain fascinated by Roman war dogs and the use of dogs in warfare. But, horses, I must tell you, have served us to an insane degree. No animal has died for us, and served us so loyally as the horse. I’m not really a horsey person, but I must tell you, I take my hat off to the horse. Cattle of course have been merely walking food for us. Jan]

Dogs were the first domesticated animals. They have accompanied humans for about 30,000 years. Scientists generally acknowledge that all dogs share a common wolf ancestor. Nowadays, humans have bred hundreds of various domestic dog breeds. The maps below show dogs of the world and their nations of origin.

This map below resized nations according to the dog breeds that originate from them. Look at the European dominance, especially Britain, France and Germany.
