Dogs have been our friends and companions for a very long time. The dogs we know and love are descended from wolves. Scientists estimated that dogs were domesticated, or made pet-friendly, 15,000 years ago. Wow! That’s longer than humans have raised farm animals, and certainly longer than humans have had pet cats. There are so many different types of dogs. Big dogs, little dogs, fluffy dogs, super playful dogs and more. Here are 15 popular dogs breeds that everyone loves!
