GENERAL HISTORY OF DOG
1) Dogs likely first developed companionships with early humans by protecting their livestock and homes in exchange for food and shelter. These early dogs were probably wild wolves or jackals that had grown accustomed to humans.
2) Traces of indigenous dog populations are found around the world, with a few exceptions, showing dogs existed as domesticated animals in most areas. However, dogs remained wild and untamed in many ancient Eastern cultures.
3) While dog breeds today vary greatly in size and appearance, similar variation exists within other domesticated animal groups, showing they could have descended from a common ancestor through selective breeding. The skeletal structures of dogs and wolves are nearly identical.
Legends Power point
The document summarizes several Arthurian legends including King Arthur, Camelot, the Holy Grail, Excalibur, Merlin, and Lancelot.
