| Abstract |
This article aims at the presentation of a complex process of making ties between the dog and the man, that started from the domestication of a dog and was followed by the thousands years of co-evolution. Here, we were discussing the process of forming relationships between the dog and the man up to the time being. The proximity and close cooperation of both species required an efficient system of communication enabling the exchange of information in different situations. During the thousands years of mutual contact, the dog and the man acquired the knowledge of the cooperation and understanding. Dog has learnt to distinguish various signals sent by the man. Dogs are able to recognize and understand human emotions and moods better than any other species connected phylogenetically more closely with man. Although the animal was domesticated many thousand years ago, it is still demonstrating features of behavior typical for the predators. Predator behavior can be easily recognized when the dog hunts, plays and eats. These features however, coexist with personality of a dedicated human partner. |
