Dog, The Most Useful Domestic Animal

By Deborah Fox


Animals are the next important species after human beings. These are mainly classified as wild and domestic. The former is found in jungles and the later in houses. The second category of creatures stays along with us. Especially, in Western countries, we see a lot of affinity to canines. Hence we have Cavapoo dogs in our houses.

Man, being a social being tries to make maximum utilization of resources around him. He also dives deep down into the oceans to kill sharks and whales. There is no place on earth, that is spared to satisfy his hunger for wealth and greed. A lot of oysters are killed for the sake of pearls. We might also have heard of many aquatic animals dying due to pollution of water bodies.

From times immemorial, we have been making friends with different animals some times as part of a profession and other times as a hobby. We breed cattle to get dairy products, wool, and meat. Dairy products include milk, butter, curd, and ghee. We usually get this from cows and buffaloes.

In a few countries, the Government has gone a step ahead to bring rules to protect these animals. People who hunt the animals in restricted places were punished. Nevertheless, it is the responsibility of the human race to save them as he is considered as the wisest creature on earth.

We, generally see this in farming. For example, in olden days oxen were used in bullock carts for traveling and sowing seeds. Not only in agriculture, but they are also been used to obtain entertainment. In a few eastern countries, people make merry with cockfights. In many continents and few Southeastern nations, we see bullfights. This can be very dangerous and banned in a few places.

Not only usefulness, but there are a few problems associated with keeping a puppy at home. Maintenance of home as well as the puppy is one of them. They shed a lot of hair, especially canines with thick fur. They move around everywhere and may poop here and there. Hence, they have to properly train on these items.

Animals, which live in the jungle though dangerous are not spared by the human being race. These are hunted for their products. To name a few, elephants for tusks, tigers for their skin and teeth. The number of animals in the forests is decreasing day by day.

In addition to moving around us in the house, it plays the role of a security guard. Sound sleep is almost assured to any hound owner as thieves first of all dare not enter houses with canines. Even if they enter by chance, they will be caught for sure. Not only that, but the doggy is the most comfortable animal which can be carried around.

In the zoo, these animals are fed by the concerned authorities at regular intervals. These are generally open from the morning and close by evening. We can also see birds in those places. People visiting these places are supposed to pay a nominal amount for a ticket. Also, strict rules are enforced on the crowds visiting them like not to litter, take photographs or touch them. Food items from outside are not allowed as people may feed them to animals or make the place dirty.
