| Spanish ..... Las especies domesticadas de Canis, que antes se creía que descendían del lupus Canis, los lobos grises; sin embargo, estudios recientes sugieren que los lobos grises y los perros domésticos tienen en cambio un antepasado común, ahora extinto. Los perros vienen en una variedad de formas y tamaños y más de 400 razas distintas. Todos los perros domésticos o asilvestrados descienden de una única especie ancestral común. Durante más de 12.000 años, ha vivido con los humanos como compañero de caza, protector y como pastor y guardián de ovejas, cabras y ganado. Hoy en día, los perros se emplean como ayuda para los ciegos y discapacitados, o para el trabajo policial. En el arte occidental, los perros han llegado a simbolizar generalmente la fidelidad y la lealtad, sin embargo, en otras culturas pueden simbolizar una variedad de rasgos, que van desde lo sucio hasta lo seductor. |
