Which dog group cannot compete for Best in Show and why?
There are three reasons to explain why dogs are considered man’s best friend. They begin with our need for protection, companionship and hunting assistance. History shows that two events helped make this bond stronger. The first occurred in 1942 during World War II with a program called “Dogs for Defense” which involved thousands of citizens who donated their dogs to the war effort. The second occurred in 2016 when the US Senate held hearings about the security of the infrastructure using bomb detection and patrol dogs. Both events memorialized the importance of canines for their many uses and services.
