DOGGIES
"Dogs are Man's best friend"
- Frederick, King of Prussia
The idea of “Man’s Best Friend” was a process long in the making. It’s fairly common knowledge that dogs were used as guards and companions in Egypt and can be traced to even farther back in history. And through our time on Earth, dogs have been herders, trackers, and hunters. During the 16th Century, dogs started to be used to assist the seeing impaired. Fast forward to the 1970s, dogs expanded their service to help a wide variety of the disabled, including autistic children, and people who suffer from seizures and PTSD. Domesticated dogs are our protectors, helpers, lifesavers and, more importantly, companions.
