Dogs, like
humans, are highly social animals and this similarity in their
overall behavioral pattern accounts for their trainability,
playfulness, and ability to fit into human households and social
situations. This similarity has earned dogs a unique position in
the realm of interspecies relationships. The loyalty and devotion
that dogs demonstrate as part of their natural instincts as pack
animals closely mimics the human idea of love and friendship,
leading many dog owners to view their pets as full-fledged family
members. Conversely, dogs seem to view their human companions as
members of their pack, and make few, if any, distinctions between
their owners and fellow dogs. Dogs fill a variety of roles in human
society and are often trained as working dogs. For dogs that do not
have traditional jobs, a wide range of dog sports provide the
opportunity to exhibit their natural skills. In many countries, the
most common and perhaps most important role of dogs is as
companions. Dogs have lived with and worked with humans in so many
roles that their loyalty has earned them the unique sobriquet
"man's best friend".
