For thousands of years, dogs have held a special place in people’s hearts. They are known as “ man’s best friend” . This is because they can be so brave, lovely, and loyal（忠诚）. Dogs are used to living in groups and following the leader. Now humans are their leaders. Dogs depend on people for food— mostly meat— and perform services in return.

Long long ago, dogs worked for people. They ran after wild animals, caught them on land and water, and protected houses. They are used to send messages, look after sheep, and even save people in snow. They help police find out what they want. Fast-runningdogs are used in races.

Dogs have many abilities that make them useful. Sharp teeth are only one of these. Most dogs can smell something human can’t smell and hear higher notes than any person. And although dogs don’t see many colors, they are very good at noticing movements.

Dogs come in many shapes, sizes, and characters. A big Irish dog stands about 32 inches tall. However,some dogs stand about only 5 inches tall. Dogs that can guard homes are intelligent. Police dogs are usually quite brave. But many different kinds of dogs now make playful family pets.

Dogs have been kept to work for human for a long history. When Pompeii— the ancient Italian city that was buried about 1900 years ago— was dug out, a dog was found lying across a child. It was trying to protect the child.

For thousands of years, people have lived with dogs. Ancient paintings on the walls of caves show people living with dogs. Almost a third of the homes in the United States and England have dogs, and these dogs come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes.

The largest dog in the world was a dog named Zorba. When Zorba, a mastiff, was seven years old in 1989, he was 94 centimeters (37 inches) tall. In other words, Zorba was more than half as tall as an adult man. At his largest, Zorba weighed more than a heavy weight boxer at 156 kilograms(343 pounds).

In comparison, the smallest bog was a Yorkshire terrier from England. This dog was only the size of a matchbox, measuring 7.1 centimeters(2.8 inches) tall and 9.5 centimeters (3.75 inches) from nose to tail. It weighed about half as much as a common book, and even a young child could easily pick it up with one hand. It passed away in 1945 when it was only two years old.

Some dogs are wonderful, not for their sizes, but for their brains. One incredible (难以制信的)dog is Endal, the companion (陪伴) of a man named Allen Parton who has used a wheelchair since a car accident in 1991.

In 2001, Parton was hit by a car while crossing a road with Endal, and thrown out of his chair. Endal quickly moved Parton into the recovery place, covered him with a blanket(毯子), and pushed his mobile phone close enough for him to reach. Then, once he saw that Parton was all right, Endal ran back and forth to a nearby hotel, barking until people came out to help.

Endal was rewarded for his bravery by being awarded a medal, and he has been the subject of a number of TV documentaries.
