== Dogs come from Europe ==

Our anonymous friend is correct - all dogs come from an extinct European wolf.
Last November Dr Olaf Thalmann, together with a team of international researchers from 20 universities across Europe and the Americas, published a paper titled “Complete Mitochondrial Genomes of Ancient Canids Suggest a European Origin of Domestic Dogs”. The team analyzed the DNA taken from the skeletons of 18 prehistoric wolves and prehistoric dogs found in Eurasia and the New World, along with a wide range of modern dogs and wolves. The DNA of all modern dogs is most closely related to a European wolf that is now extinct. Molecular dating suggests domestication occurred between 18,800 to 32,100 years ago.

The reference is found here: https://www.sciencemag.org/content/342/6160/871#aff-1
I will suggest an amendment to the webpage shortly.

== Adding information to the 'Dog' article about mythology / religion ==

Hey. I wanted to contribute to the article, but it seems to be closed.

I wanted to expand the 'mythology' section, to add under 'Hindu Mythology' a small paragraph about the popular Hindu deity Kala Bhairava, whose 'vehicle' (vahana) is the dog -due to the 'unclean' nature of the dog, and how Bhairava, being beyond duality, encompasses both clean and unclean into Himself- as well as how the dog (nocturnal and feral in urban India) as the vehicle of Bhairava is seen as a quasi 'friendly demon' in such cities as Varanasi (whose tutelary deity is Kala Bhairava), and how the dog is then subsequently respected.

How do i 'apply' for the right to update this wiki?

Perhaps you could start your own Wikipedia webpage on Dog Mythology, and leave this Dog section to science. There is a whole lot more research that needs to go on here.

Dogs are probably the pet that nearly every household will have. they are sometimes known as "mans best friend". this is because dogs are loyal, loving companions, and they can make a great family member in no time. having a dog or a puppy is very useful. did you know that dog can smell cancer, so can save their owners lives. they have also been known in the past to have saved toddlers and babies from drowning, as well as other dogs. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/86.135.151.135|86.135.151.135]] ([[User talk:86.135.151.135|talk]]) 17:09, 26 January 2014 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Fixing a typo "species" written when you meant "biological family" ==

At the very beginning, when this page refers to the disambiguation, it says "For related species known as 'dogs', see Canidae"

I believe you meant to write "biological family", not "Species", as "Canidae" is the biological family -- the *species* would be "Canis lupus", Canidae is the biological family, and the *genus* would be "Canis". If you are redirecting to "Canidae", you are referring to a biological family. I suggest this typo be fixed quickly, as it is one that can be embarrassing.

:Other species related to Canis lupus are part of the family Canidae. What's wrong with that? [[User:Ian Dalziel|Ian Dalziel]] ([[User talk:Ian Dalziel|talk]]) 16:59, 27 January 2014 (UTC)




I concur with Ian. The species and family are given both in the first paragraph and the
scientific classification table on the right of the screen, and can be removed from the first line altogether.
Plus, by your own definition all dogs are domestic, so remove that word. It currently reads:

This article is about the domestic dog. For related species known as "dogs", see Canidae. For other uses, see Dog (disambiguation).

Amend to: This article is about the dog. For other uses, see Dog (disambiguation).

Coding should be:
{{about|the dog|other uses|Dog (disambiguation)|}}

== Dog is not a sub-species of the Gray Wolf ==

Currently reads:
The domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris)[2][3] is a subspecies of the gray wolf (Canis lupus), a member of the Canidae family of the mammalian order Carnivora.

My Comment:
The domestic dog is now known to be a descendent of an extinct European wolf.

Last November Dr Olaf Thalmann, together with a team of international researchers from 20 universities across Europe and the Americas, published a paper titled “Complete Mitochondrial Genomes of Ancient Canids Suggest a European Origin of Domestic Dogs”. The team analyzed the DNA taken from the skeletons of 18 prehistoric wolves and prehistoric dogs found in Eurasia and the New World, along with a wide range of modern dogs and wolves. The DNA of all modern dogs is most closely related to a European wolf that is now extinct. Molecular dating suggests domestication occurred between 18,800 to 32,100 years ago. Citation: https://www.sciencemag.org/content/342/6160/871#aff-1

Also, its scientific classification appears in the table to the right of the article entry and therefore can be removed from the text.

Wording should be amended to read:
The domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris)[2][3] is a sub-species of the wolf (Canis lupus).

Coding should read:
The domestic '''dog''' (Canis lupus familiaris)[2][3] is a sub-species of the wolf ''[[subspecies of Canis Lupus|Canis Lupus]]''.

Additionally, this webpage has become over-sized and does not encapsulate the rapid changes in dog research that has taken place over the last few years.
I recommend that sections of it be redistributed into new articles that are not protected in order to keep up with the pace of change - much of the research cited on this webpage is already super-ceded. Can you point me to any team or group that is collaborating on developing this topic, please?

Any mammal is surprising like any other mammal - we all shared a common ancestor and our brains appear to be wired much the same way.
Your statement may be true, but what would it add to this article I wonder? "Helped the world in one way or another" might lead to further development of some text.

==toxic foods==

Hi,

I would like to add a short table of common foods that are harmful to dogs with 3 columns (food, symptoms, suggested criteria for contacting vet or Poison Control) to section 5.5.1. Sources are ASPCA and FDA.

I would like to add section 5.5.2 with a short table of common house plants that are harmful to dogs with 2 columns (plant with link to wikipedia topic on plant, symptoms) and contact information for ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center. Source is ASPCA.. I would also like to include a link to a more comprehensive list of toxic and non-toxic plants at the ASPCA.

I haven't submitted anything to Wikipedia before. So please let me know if this is not the appropriate place or process...

Hello Wedwards62. You might start by creating a Talk Page, where wikipedians can talk to you, rather than us hijacking this person's entry under Dogs and Dolphins! If you like you can create a user page to say something about yourself. At some time, I understand that an Administrator will come along and see your comment here and provide advice/action it. In the meantime, we are both waiting. There is quite a backlog for Administrators, so please be patient. You might like to commence some further research of your own - on what basis is the ASPCA saying these things? Who undertook research to prove that these things are in fact facts.

:Hi Wedwards. Probably the best thing to do would be to take a look at [[Dog_health#Toxic_substances]] and add there any information that is missing, rather than duplicating it in this article.

== Is the wolf a proto-dog, or is it actually a feral dog. ==

The wolf and the domestic dog are fu;ly interbreedable, and are in that sense, the same specie.
The history of the domestic dog and the wolf separate about 10,000 years into history.
This coincides with the peak of the last ice-age, when Homo Neanderthalis was driven out of the Northlands, mainly by the Atlantic coastline, but also by the Pacific.
This exodus was an emergency operation, and many were lost by the wayside. Among the lost were the dogs these people had used as hunting associates.
My proposal is that some of these survived, and became feral.
As for the humans, blue eyes, large noses, fair hair, and white skin, is all that is left of Homo Neanderthalis. The minute fraction of survivors of the exodus were forced to interbreed with the dark skinned Africans they found when they reached Africa.
So we have a coincidence: the tiny survival of some Neanderthal characteristics in Humans, indicating interbreeding, and the deviation of Domestic dogs from Wolves.
Both occurred about 10,000 years ago.
Because the domestic dog is genetically indistinguishable from the grey wolf, it cannot be fair to call the wolf a proto-dog. They are all Canis Lupus.
The proto-dog must be an earlier specie, and we must go back at least another 10,000 years, possible 100,000 years to find this proto-dog, possibly the African hunting dog. <small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Daveat168|Daveat168]] ([[User talk:Daveat168|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Daveat168|contribs]]) 22:50, 30 March 2014 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
