Features: Dogs are carnivorous mammals belonging to the Canidae family, specifically the Canis genus. They are rodents. Their hearing and vision are highly sensitive, and they are naturally adept at swimming. Dogs excel at running, are cold-resistant, and regulate their body temperature using their tongues. The history of dogs being domesticated by humans is long, making them one of the most widely kept animals in the world. Today, there are over hundreds of breeds. Dogs come in a wide variety of breeds, with significant differences in appearance. There are large, powerful working dogs, as well as small, delicate toy breeds. Some are adorable and well-behaved, while others are full of wildness. Typically, they give birth to two litters per year and have a lifespan of about 15-20 years. Common breeds depicted in paintings include: Pekingese, Parakeet Dog, Shar-Pei, Shi Tzu, Tibetan Mastiff, German Shepherd, Afghan Hound, Pomeranian, Papillon, and Dachshund. Dogs are loyal, responsible, and devoted to their owners, which is why an increasing number of people are keeping them as pets. When dogs are joyful, they jump continuously, bend their bodies, stomp their feet, and wag their tails vigorously. When encountering danger, their ears stand up, and their eyes become alert.
