Dogs have always been a popular pet that people enjoy having in their homes. They are not naturally wild, which is why many people have domesticated them. In this part of the world, we've heard a lot of myths about humans domesticating dogs. Some claimed that dogs were chased out of the animal kingdom because they were betrayed. It was claimed that dogs would find a way to trick animals into the hunter's grasp, exchanging animals for cooked bones made by the hunter to the dog, all because dogs like chewing bones and they can get it by any means, even if it means betraying some of their own. So all of these folktales hinged on the fact that dogs have always preferred to be in man's custody and to accompany him wherever he goes.

People keep dogs for a variety of reasons, which demonstrates how important and beneficial dogs are to humans. I divided the benefits into two groups.

1. The Old Age Advantages

Dogs have always been a helpful animal in hunting and sometimes killing other small animals for their owners, particularly among the Yoruba tribes (the hunter). Almost no hunting expedition, even today, can be said to be meaningful if the dog is not present. It is frequently referred to as the hunter's ally. A dog can spend days in the forest with its owner searching for bush meats without grumbling or complaining. Dogs are very useful during hunting because they have sharp eyes and ears that allow them to detect animal movement easily. When a dog sees an animal, it will run in the same direction, giving its owner an accurate direction on "which way to go."

Dogs are frequently referred to as "The god of iron's" animal by Yoruba tribes. This is a popular and revered god among the Yoruba and other African countries . So, when the need arises, the dog as a special animal is usually used as a form of sacrifice or appeasement to the god. Dogs have been useful since the dawn of time.

They enjoy sharing your happiness, but they are also willing to share their owners' unhappiness. According to one study, if a dog's owner is unhappy and sitting on the ground crying, the dog will prefer to stay with him. It can see how unhappy its owner is and believes that staying by his side is the best way to comfort him. That is why dogs find it difficult to leave their owners' graves if the owner dies. This is to demonstrate the dog's undying devotion to man.
