Definition

  • Dogs have been human companions at least since the Mesolithic era, some 20,000 years ago. Oddly, whenever they are successfully trained by humans to comply with their specific duties, dogs are rewarded and considered as “intelligent” or “smart” by their masters. [Source: Encyclopedia of Environment and Society; Dogs]
