Animals are living beings, meaning they are born, grow, reproduce, and die. Each species has its own characteristics, such as color, size, type of food, habitat, among others. This wide diversity of living beings is divided into domestic and wild animals. Domestic animals, like dogs, play significant roles in human life, providing companionship, affection, and being recognized as man’s best friend. This special relationship between humans and dogs is shaped by centuries of coexistence and cooperation. These faithful companions have shown throughout history that their presence goes beyond mere companionship, playing a vital role in the emotional and physical well-being of their owners. Additionally, wild animals play crucial roles in natural ecosystems, contributing to biodiversity and ecological balance. Preserving and respecting both wild and domestic animals are essential to maintain harmony in the animal kingdom and promote global well-being.
