The dog in all of our lives

The dog, known as “Hund” in the German language, has a long history. Its origin goes back to Middle High German “hunt” and Old High German “hunt”. The term grew out of the roots of Proto-West Germanic *hund and Proto-Indo-European *ḱwṓ, such as the Wiktionary explained. Whether as a loyal companion or sometimes as a cheeky prankster, dogs have accompanied us for centuries and are closely linked to our everyday lives.

They are not only valued as pets, but also used as helpers in many areas. There are numerous mentions in literature and culture, from stories about a dog's loyalty to emotional tales about the bond between humans and animals.
