Dog

What dogs do when nobody's looking.

Man's best friend a creature bred for friendship, hunter's aid, and police work. They have been by humankind's side for16.000 to 32.000 years and are mankind's best invention only on par with cats, porn, beer, and the internet. They are loyal and fierce, masking that with goofiness.

They've been bred into different forms over the countless millennia; from protection to fighting and even pulling carts. There are even dogs that can out cancer.

Origins

A long time ago when mankind was a bunch of hunter gatherers we left a trail of scrapes that attracted predators and soon they started following us. One of these were wolves, eventually they became useful to humans, seeing the use of having animals that can be used for guarding and hunting. They kept the wolves, and over time somebody had the genius idea of breeding based on certain traits and soon this caused an artificial evolutionary tree. Through primitive genetic engineering selectively breeding things like fluffy coats for surviving colder weathers, thick skin for fighting other dogs, search and rescue and so on. Over 36.000 years they have been bred for millions of different tasks, but have also been one of the most wide spread companions they have even been sent into space.

Breeds

Like dragons from D&D dogs have multiple breeds gaining different traits.

• Golden retriever a gun dog trained to retrieve waterfowl [Ducks and upland game] that have been shot at by their hunter. The golden retriever has gone on to be the most commen breed of dog people think of when they think of dog.
