Are dogs animals?

The history of working animals is as old as agriculture, and possibly longer, some speculate, and has encompassed most aspects of human civilization down to the present day with millions of animals working in symbiotic relationships with their owners around the world, particularly in poorer countries and in agricultural industries. Different types of animals are used around the world depending on the conditions and the specific intended use of the animal. Domesticated species are often bred in several types of breeds suitable for different uses and conditions, in addition to pets, especially horses and working dogs. Working animals are usually raised on farms although some are still captured from the wild - such as some Asian elephants.
