I recently read a book called "Dog Heroes." It is a Magic Treehouse Fact Tracker book. Did you know that humans and dogs have been together for thousands of years? Scientists even found a skeleton of a girl resting her hand on her dog! SAR dogs help people who have experienced tsunamis, earthquakes, hurricanes and other disasters. These dogs can smell things from the air and from the ground, the air leaves scents and the ground leaves skin cells that contain the scents. Dogs are actually very close relatives of wolves, as are dingoes, African wild dogs, jackals, and coyotes. People can breed together certain dogs like a poodle and a German shepherd to create a German Sheeppoodle. Dogs are used for comfort and for work all over the world. In Alaska they work as sled dogs and for comfort. Many dogs work in the military and many are just for kids to have fun! Well see you next time!
