A Japanese Man Toko Transforms Himself to Become a Dog

Having a pet seems to be the best way to overcome boredom as well as surpass having a feeling of being alone. Some people tend to domesticate Cats, some wanted Birds, and some are inclined to take care some variety of aquarium Fish while most of us, of course, the most popular, would love to have a Dog. The term 'a dog is a man's best friend' was first used way back in 1789 by King Frederick of Prussia. He’s claimed to say, “The only, absolute and best friend that a man has, in this selfish world, the only one that will not betray or deny him, is his Dog.” Research suggests dog ownership may improve heart health, decrease depression, and even help you live longer – it’s a symbiotic relationship that has been as beneficial for humans, as much as our canine companions. And it’s a bond that stretches back at least 15,000 years. That's one possibility at least; some fossil evidence suggests domestication as far back as 30,000 years. If that’s true then as James Gorman

This has been always true at the Lampert house, but, things haven’t been the same since October. Brittney Lampert, the owner of the house always described everyday as perfect. It is always filled with the hubbub of a dog, a dog named Cooper. But come Oct. 20, Cooper died. Cooper was diagnosed with terminal cancer, Cooper was 13 years old.

It went viral. Lampert had emails, voicemails, letters and Facebook messages from people from all over the globe who had heard about Cooper and his bucket list. But unfortunately, as sad as it seems, Cooper died just a few days after the story came out. It has been hard on Lampert and her husband, Corey. We all

Europe Might Be Dog's Origin

Dog is a man's best friend. That's all we have to say everytime we talk about our beloved dogs. There were several species of them and every one of us have our own fave. But have you asked yourself where they might come from? Or perhaps, how the first dog look like? Curious as it is, let's find out! Scientists have been dogged by this evolution question for years: Just where did man's best friend first appear? Though DNA studies have implicated east Asia and the Middle East, the earliest known doglike fossils come from Europe. Now a large DNA study is lining up with the fossils, some 19,000 to 32,000 years ago suggesting dogs originated in Europe. Even though experts said it won't end the debate, they praised the new work and their latest disscovery. Scientists generally agree that dogs emerged from wolves to become the first domesticated animal.  Maybe drawn by food in garbage dumps and carcasses left by human hunters, their wolf ancestors began to associa
