Twitter user Elyor Faizullah wrote on his page: “A dog has nothing in common with nature from an evolutionary point of view. They are not natural and do not participate in the food chain, so their destruction does not affect nature. On the contrary, the incidence will decrease,” he wrote. We checked this information.
The claim that dogs have nothing to do with evolution is false. Dogs are the domesticated descendants of wolves, a process that began thousands of years ago. The domestication of dogs has had a major impact on human history, from companionship to various tasks such as hunting and herding. Dogs were people's first friends.
Historical evidence shows that dogs have played a crucial role in human society, contributing to the development of society. The relationship between humans and dogs has evolved over time, affecting both species.
According to medical research, interacting with dogs can have a positive effect on human health. The American Heart Association reports that owning a dog is associated with a reduced risk of heart disease. In addition, therapy dogs are used to provide emotional support and assistance to people with various medical conditions. The problem is that dogs are great helpers for blind people.
1. Communicating with animals reduces stress
For many people, being with a dog helps them cope with stress and fatigue. During active games with a pet, blood pressure normalizes, blood supply to the brain improves, due to which a person feels an emotional uplift. Dog owners are more organized, so they can more easily endure psychological and physical stress. There is even an opinion that dog owners live longer than those who do not have warm feelings for pets.
Dogs love their owners not for their appearance, talents or success at work, but simply because they exist. The selfless and boundless love of your pet is a great incentive to start playing sports. When you bring your puppy home, you will have to take a walk in the fresh air every morning to walk the dog, keep in good physical shape to play with your pet; take care of your health, because if you get sick, there will be no one to care for your animal. Use the arrival of a dog in your home as a reason to switch to an active lifestyle.
3. Nanny and friend for children
When listing the advantages of dogs, one cannot ignore how carefully and jealously they treat children. A four-legged friend will become a caring and attentive nanny for children: she will look after a sleeping child, play with him, or, conversely, calm him down.
4. Raising responsibility in children
Communication with a dog teaches children responsibility, sensitivity and patience. You can take part in the “We are your friends” program, which is aimed at fostering a culture of communication with pets and caring for them. Caring for a dog helps a child gain confidence in his own abilities and increase self-esteem. With his pet, it will be easier and more interesting for him to do household chores and school assignments.
When a dog appears in the house, you simply cannot be irresponsible and lazy. You will have to change your lifestyle and daily routine in order to take your pet for a walk on time, feed it, educate and train it.
A dog will not be obedient if it is not taught discipline from childhood; to maintain health and physical activity, it needs frequent walks and adherence to a feeding regime. To provide her with comfortable living conditions, you will have to adapt to her “biorhythms” and temperament: get up early, walk in the mornings and evenings, do not stay late at work if the pet does not tolerate loneliness well.
6. New acquaintances and social circle of dog breeders
Your circle of friends will expand, because you will need to discuss the problems of raising and training your pet with someone.

You will be able to make new acquaintances, find friends and like-minded people with whom you can share the problems and successes of your relationship with your dog.
7. A faithful friend with whom you will not get bored
The dog will always be there, it will become your faithful friend, with whom it is interesting to spend time. Pets quickly become attached to their owner and remain faithful to him until the end of their lives. You won’t get bored with them: they are always ready to get involved in the game and happily pose for family photo sessions. With them you can travel by car, play football, relax in nature - any activity you do with your dog will become much more exciting.
8. Dogs save lives
The advantages of a dog lie not only in its natural sociability and openness, but also in its developed instincts. These animals have a delicate and sensitive sense of smell, which is why they are used in work to rescue people after disasters and earthquakes. There are thousands of cases where they helped find lost children and warned about fires and floods. In service breed pets, such abilities are more developed, but after special training, guarding skills can be taught to any dog.
9. New knowledge
To properly care for your dog, you will have to learn a lot of new things: about what to feed the animal, how to protect it from diseases, how to train and socialize it. The owner is responsible for the behavior of the pet, so every dog owner is recommended to enroll in training courses and learn how to control the dog. The more you know about the habits and physiology of pets, the faster you will establish contact with your dog and win its trust and love.
10. Close-knit, friendly family
It is believed that in families where there is a dog, fewer conflict situations and domestic quarrels arise. Thanks to a pet, family members communicate more with each other, are united by common interests and care for the animal. Caring for a dog helps you realize responsibility for its life and understand how important people’s attention and love are for it.
11. Help for the sick and treatment
If there is a special child growing up in the family or problems arise with elderly loved ones, get a service breed dog. There are guide dogs that help people with disabilities move around the street and travel on public transport. A pet can act as a caregiver for a bedridden patient - bringing him the necessary things.
Specially trained dogs are used in canistherapy. It is an increasingly popular method of treating a variety of physical ailments, negative mental states, and developmental conditions. Communication with an animal helps get rid of stress, anxiety, aggression, hyperactivity, and instill communication skills in children and adults who are immersed in their own world (autistic people), and people who have difficulty adapting to a team.
It is believed that communication with a dog is beneficial for people with mental disabilities (Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis). They help to quickly return to a full life after strokes and heart attacks.
If you don't have many friends due to disabilities or work commitments, get a dog. She will become your faithful companion for life. Pets have developed intuition and curiosity, so they quickly remember their owner’s habits and adapt to them. Communication with an animal will diversify your life and allow you to see its best sides.
13. Travel partner
Many advantages of a dog - friendliness, loyalty, devotion - are well known. A pet can also become a travel partner. It will not only ensure your safety, but will also be able to carry a small load if you purchase a special backpack for it in advance. Dogs are unpretentious to camping conditions, and while traveling they will have the opportunity to splash out their energy and train in endurance.
Pets enjoy traveling by car and can handle plane flights and train trips well. You don't need to be separated when you're going out of town for a picnic or going to a resort abroad.
14. Support at any time
You will feel the love of your four-legged friend constantly. He does not need to be taught sensitivity and responsiveness; he is always friendly towards his owner. The presence of a dog in the house gives a feeling of security and peace. Sociable and friendly animals provide emotional support, help stabilize mental state, and cope with stress.
In some countries, pets are specially trained and qualified as an Emotional Support Dog. Such animals are allowed to fly on an airplane with their owner to help him cope with various phobias during the flight.
15. Learn to care about someone else
Psychologists recommend having a dog for families with children, since communication with it becomes an example of selfless care and love. A pet is completely dependent on a person and accepts all the pros and cons of the owner without judgment.
The appearance of a dog in the house inevitably leads to a revision of the responsibilities of all family members, but the new responsibility, as a rule, does not frighten either children or adults. The pet will grow, and with it the sense of mutual understanding and friendship will grow.
The main thing that communication and caring for a dog gives is a feeling of trust and responsibility for the fate of the animal. You teach your pet to go to the toilet, know its place, follow commands, try to find the best food for it, worry when it is sick, and gradually become kinder and more sympathetic. Try to include your people in this process.
