Dogs are domesticated wolves who have served as faithful companions to humans for centuries. Although the size of the brain reduces when the animal is domesticated, canines are used for hunting, digging, protection, and police work; they sniff for bombs, drugs and even lost or trapped humans. Learn why and how dogs communicate, why their noses are usually wet, and if your dog would pass a doggy aptitude test.
