Dogs are domesticated mammals that are often kept as pets. They are descended from wolves and have been bred for centuries to be loyal, friendly, and helpful companions.

Dogs come in many different shapes and sizes, but they all have four legs, a tail, and a furry coat. They are carnivores and eat meat, but they can also eat some fruits and vegetables.

Dogs are very intelligent animals and can be trained to do many different things, such as fetch, sit, stay, and rollover. They are also very loyal and make great friends.
