A Christmas tale about dog’s origination

Who were the ancestry   of dogs: wolves, jackals or an unknown animal. Or may be all of them.  Nobody knows for sure.    I have an idea  of my own about how dogs appeared.

Having created a man the God tried to teach him to live on his own.  When he considered that the education was completed he took the man to the road, and leaving him there started back home. In a minute  he looked back: the man was still standing on the road lost and alone. The God felt confused. Yes, it was his first experiment in creating a man, however he hoped the outcome would be more promising. The God decided to correct the situation: he created a dog and sent him to the man.

The  dog got many useful  talents, the most outstanding is dog’s ability to change for he could follow and live with the man in any place of the world and take any shape according to man’s fantasies. However, the God was generous that day and gave the dog one more feature - the most valuable: dog’s inexhaustible  ability to love man and the readiness to go with him till the very end.
