i have 3 small 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": "Dogs are such cool animals.

They came from wolves and were bred for different behaviors and sensory capabilities."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Interesting. I always though it would be funny to imagine the Chihuahua surviving in the wild. But I guess they were once larger and more ferocious."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Oh that would go very badly haha. They were bred to have various different sizes, shapes, and colors based on the breed."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Yes for sure. Like the wiener dog... and his short legs. That wouldn't work so well in the wild running from predators! "}]
