Why I Chose This Topic
I chose to study dogs. I chose this because they are part of our everyday lives. Dogs have extraordinary abilities and are great in the household. They can be helpful to humans too. They can serve as service dogs, guard dogs, police dogs and many more works. They are amazing animals that help us every day. They can be taught to even be in movies and do stunts. They are very intelligent creatures. This is why I chose to study dogs. |

Science Concept
Application
Dogs can be a great help today in society. A Lot of people think they are just great pets but they can be more than that. In history they have been heroes, assistants, friends.
How they are good for your health
Did you know that it has been scientifically proven that stroking an animal can greatly reduce your stress levels? If you spend around 15 minutes petting your favorite cat or dog, your body will release the following natural “feel good” hormones: oxytocin, prolactin and serotonin. It also lowers your cortisol, which is the body’s natural stress hormone. Not only will this send your body into a relaxed state, but it can also lower your blood pressure by 10% too. If you own a dog, then you will have to walk it at least once or twice a day which means you will be getting vital fresh air and exercise while having the opportunity to connect with nature and bond with your four-legged friend.
Unconditional Love
Animals do not ask for much in life, and most just need a warm, safe and sheltered place to live, as well as adequate food, water and exercise. In return they will give you unconditional love, loyalty and companionship. Dogs are a little more well known to offer unconditional love; cats can be a little fickle! But having a furry friend means you will always have a little living being, waiting patiently for you at home and ready to welcome you with a wagging tail or a purr.
They offer emotional support
It’s incredible just how much support an animal can bring to your life. If you are particularly vulnerable or have special needs then there are certain dog breeds that are perfect at providing emotional and physical support. A dog or cat can help with loneliness, give you companionship and someone to talk to, and sit with you during the evenings. Pets can be lifesavers when it comes to depression and grief. They can give you a sense of purpose and a reason to get out of bed when you are feeling particularly depressed or anxious. Animals such as cats and dogs can have a deeply calming effect on humans and can often pick up on their owner’s moods: snuggling up to you when you are feeling sad or licking your hands if they sense that you have anxiety.
Owning a pet can open up your world. If you have a dog, then you will have to walk it daily, which means that you will have interactions with other dog owners and walkers too. This can help with loneliness in people who find it difficult to make friends.
Playing with a cat or a dog can take your mind away from your problems and place you in the “here and now.” This is basic mindfulness and wonderful for mental health.

Famous Scientist
One famous scientist who studied dogs was Ivan Pavlov.He was born September 26, 1849.What was Ivan Pavlov best known for? Ivan Pavlov developed an experiment testing the concept of the conditioned reflex. He trained a hungry dog to salivate at the sound of a metronome or buzzer, which was previously associated with the sight of food. He studies their reflexes and digestive systems. He also carried out experiments on the digestive glands, as well as investigated the gastric function of dogs, and eventually won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1904, becoming the first Russian Nobel laureate.

Career Path
Cynology is the study of dogs and related canines. cynologists are people who train dogs. Of course, when we think of cynologists, we imagine people who work in the military or police field, but dogs help people in many areas, and they all need training. For example, cynologists can train guide dogs, guard dogs or just domestic dogs with behavior issues. Dogs are great for many fields of work, While some are just an enjoyment to have as pets. Cynology can be a great help in finding out more about our pets.
