The Dogs

An essay I wrote when I was 12

The dog is a domestic animal. It is the first tamed animal.

The dog came from grey wolves in middle east. There are wild dogs too. They live in Africa, Australia and India. The fox belongs to the dog's family.

There are many kinds of dogs like German shepherd, Mastiff,

Grey Hound, Great Den, Rottweiler, Dalmation, Begal, Rhodesian Ridgeback, Chihuahua, Basset Hound, Blood Hound, English Setter, Dachound, Pomaranian, Bearded Collie, Rough Collie...(too much). German Shepherds are used as police dogs. They can be trained to help blind. The Grey Hounds can run fast. They take part in dog races. Rottweiler is a dangerous dog. It can be trained to hunt wild bores. Rhodesian Ridgeback helps lion hunters. Bull terrier and Fox terrier hunts rats and rabbits. Basset Hound also helps hunting. The Great Dens are larger than other kinds. Pomaranian, Bearded Collie,Cocker Spaniel and Poodle are beautiful dogs. They take part in beauty competitions.

Dogs live in kennels. They guard houses and farms. Dogs can

be trained to help blind. They can be trained as police dogs. They can be trained to hunt. The dog is an affectionate friend of the man.
