i have a dog.
[{"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": "user", "content": "My little girl is asking for a dog as her birthday gift. I'm wondering if you have good knowledge and advise so you can tell me what to do"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I just love dogs. They have a long association with humans which has led to the term a mans best friend.  They are loyal, loving and always pleased to see you!!  I would be careful with young children though so it depends on your daughters age."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Amazing, so you would totally recommend. My daughter is 8 years old. She should be alright with it i think"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "8 is a good age. Dogs with good natures are labradors, poodles, collies, golden retrievers.  depends on what size you are looking.  Aparently dogs are relations of the grey wolf!"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Poodle and Coollie sounds just girly enough for her, but tell me more about grey wolf, you just sparked my curiosity"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Well as the story goes the direct ancestor of the dog is extinct but our modern day grey wolves are their closest living relatives.  Random fact I know lol."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Do you have any idea about the feed cost of a dog? I bet it's as good as adopting a new kid to feed"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "It can cost over 1 thousand dollars a year to feed and think of the vet bills but on the other side, dogs perform many roles including hunting, protecting, companionship, therapeutic roles and of course your daughters best friend!"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Amazing. Do you have any other advise about how to care for a dog so that it behaves and doesn't bit randomly? or even knows where to poo?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "That just takes a lot of time and practice im afraid.  But as long as you train young they will be fine.  Goodluck with your first mans best friend. "}]
