Dog

The dog, also known as the domestic dog, is a domesticated descendant of the gray wolf. They were selectively bred from wolves by hunter-gatherers during the Late Pleistocene, making them the first domesticated species over 14,000 years ago. An adaptation that separates dogs from other canids is their ability to thrive on a starch-rich diet, a trait developed through their long association with humans.
