"In the beginning, God created man, but seeing him so feeble, He gave him the dog"
Origins of the relationship between man and his dog
The relationship between man and dogs go back through the ages. One of the most surprising things is that it should have endured so long, even into this technological age, and it shows no sign of diminishing. Man never seems to have grown tired of the companionship that dogs offer, and dogs, for their part, have remained ever faithful.
This relationship was probably formed in the beginning, through predatory instincts, the hunting and killing of animals to provide food for survival. Mutual protection and companionship probably followed later. This companionship developed into true friendship and is born out by the many instances of dogs risking and indeed in some cases giving their lives in order to save that of their master or mistress.
In many cases dogs had not been trained to do this, but did it instinctively. In the same way there have been many reports of man giving his life in order to save his dog. These examples serve to illustrate the deep bonds of loyalty that exist between a man, or woman, and their dog.
This is the serious side of the continuing relationship. There is another side, namely the sheer exuberance and joy that may be seen in a happy dog with it's caring master or mistress.
However a man may be regarded by his fellows, whether their opinion of him is low or high, to his dog he is always right, always the one he looks up to and the most important human being in the whole world. It would be hard not to respond to such devotion, and it is this that is at the heart of the relationship between man and his dog. There is no explaining to do about anything and there is always unquestioning faithfulness.
