i love dogs.
[{"role": "system", "content": "The domestic dog (\"Canis lupus familiaris\" or \"Canis familiaris\") is a member of the genus \"Canis\" (canines), which forms part of the wolf-like canids, and is the most widely abundant terrestrial carnivore. The dog and the extant gray wolf are sister taxa as modern wolves are not closely related to the wolves that were first domesticated, which implies that the direct ancestor of the dog is extinct. The dog was the first species to be domesticated and has been selectively bred over millennia for various behaviors, sensory capabilities, and physical attributes. Their long association with humans has led dogs to be uniquely attuned to human behavior and they are able to thrive on a starch-rich diet that would be inadequate for other canid species. New research seems to show that dogs have mutations to equivalent genetic regions in humans where changes are known to trigger high sociability and somewhat reduced intelligence. Dogs vary widely in shape, size and colors. Dogs perform many roles for people, such as hunting, herding, pulling loads, protection, assisting police and military, companionship and, more recently, aiding handicapped individuals and therapeutic roles. This influence on human society has given them the sobriquet \"man's best friend\".\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "We have three dogs and they are so different in shape, size and color.  Do you know much about dogs as pets?"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Not as much as I would like to! Is there something you can share on the issue?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Sure!  Dogs are the first species to be domesticated and selectively bred for behaviors, physical attibutes, etc.. It's interesting how the different breeds have evolved."}, {"role": "user", "content": "wow I did not know that! Its pretty amazing"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Apparently dogs are uniquely attuned to human behavior and it's even allowed them to be able to eat a starch rich diet that other canine species couldn't.  It's amazing how they've adapted to live with us."}, {"role": "user", "content": "That is amazing. I am learning so much!!! is there something else you could share?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "One of the most interesting things to me is that they believe that dogs have mutations that are equal to genetic regions in humans - these changes trigger their high sociability "}, {"role": "user", "content": "Interesting. I am loving this info."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "They were even buried with their humans as long ago as 36,000 years ago"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Thanks for the info!!!"}]
