The Truth About Dogs, A Cat's Perspective Dogs are different from cats.
Cats rule; dogs drool.  Dogs have masters; cats have staff.
In many ways, dogs are almost like humans.
Dogs need to feel part of a group to be happy.
Just like people and horses, dogs evolved to live in groups.  The group keeps them safe from outside danger.  The group provides a rich social life.  The group needs a leader.
The litter is a dog's first social group.
A dog's ability to socialize with people starts with the ability to socialize with other dogs.  The law in the United States recognizes how important this period is for dogs; so puppies must remain with the mother dog until they are eight weeks old.
