Dogs and All about Them

These
facts
lead
one
to
refer
to
the
familiar
circumstance
that
the
native
dogs
of
all
regions
approximate
closely
in
size,
coloration,
form,
and
habit
to
the
native
wolf
of
those
regions.
Of
this
most
important
circumstance
there
are
far
too
many
instances
to
allow
of
its
being
looked
upon
as
a
mere
coincidence.
Sir
John
Richardson,
writing
in
1829,
observed
that
"the
resemblance
between
the
North
American
wolves
and
the
domestic
dog
of
the
Indians
is
so
great
that
the
size
and
strength
of
the
wolf
seems
to
be
the
only
difference.
I
have
more
than
once
mistaken
a
band
of
wolves
for
the
dogs
of
a
party
of
Indians;
and
the
howl
of
the
animals
of
both
species
is
prolonged
so
exactly
in
the
same
key
that
even
the
practised
ear
of
the
Indian
fails
at
times
to
discriminate
between
them."
As
the
Eskimo
and
Indian
dogs
resemble
the
North
American
wolf,
so
the
dog
of
the
Hare
Indians,
a
very
different
breed,
resembles
the
prairie
wolf.
Except
in
the
matter
of
barking,
there
is
no
difference
whatever
between
the
black
wolf-dog
of
the
Indians
of
Florida
and
the
wolves
of
the
same
country.
The
same
phenomenon
is
seen
in
many
kinds
of
European
dogs.
The
Shepherd
Dog
of
the
plains
of
Hungary
is
white
or
reddish-brown,
has
a
sharp
nose,
short
erect
ears,
shaggy
coat,
and
bushy
tail,
and
so
much
resembles
a
wolf
that
Mr.
Paget,
who
gives
the
description,
says
he
has
known
a
Hungarian
mistake
a
wolf
for
one
of
his
own
dogs.
Many
of
the
dogs
of
Russia,
Lapland,
and
Finland
are
comparable
with
the
wolves
of
those
countries.
Some
of
the
domestic
dogs
of
Egypt,
both
at
the
present
day
and
in
the
condition
of
mummies,
are
wolf-like
in
type,
and
the
dogs
of
Nubia
have
the
closest
relation
to
a
wild
species
of
the
same
region,
which
is
only
a
form
of
the
common
jackal.
Dogs,
it
may
again
be
noted,
cross
with
the
jackal
as
well
as
with
wolves,
and
this
is
frequently
the
case
in
Africa,
as,
for
example,
in
Bosjesmans,
where
the
dogs
have
a
marked
resemblance
to
the
black-backed
jackal,
which
is
a
South
African
variety.
