Dogs are friends of man. They work for us. They hunt with us. They also play with us. But a long
time ago, all over the world, dogs were wild. Dogs can go back to the Stone Age. All dogs had the
same ancestor (祖先). It is believed that this ancestor was much like a wolf. Other animals, like fox,
also came from this ancestor. Thousands of years ago, man began to tame (使驯服) the wild dogs.
When the dogs were tamed, they were trained (训练) well. The strong dogs then became working
animals. They were trained to pull heavy loads (担子). They learned to keep watching over sheep
and other animals. Working dogs could do other things, too. Some dogs were not strong. But they
could help man hunt. Other dogs were best at pets. At first, there were only a few kinds of dogs.
