The domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris when considered a subspecies of the gray wolf or Canis familiaris when considered a distinct species) is a member of the genus Canis (canines), which forms part of the wolf-like canids, and is the most widely abundant terrestrial carnivore.

The dog and the extant gray wolf are sister taxa as modern wolves are not closely related to the wolves that were first domesticated, which implies that the direct ancestor of the dog is extinct.

The dog was the first species to be domesticated and has been selectively bred over millennia for various behaviors, sensory capabilities, and physical attributes.

A pet or companion animal is an animal kept primarily for a person's company, protection, or entertainment rather than as a working animal, livestock, or laboratory animal.

Popular pets are often noted for their attractive appearances, intelligence, and relatable personalities.

The domestic cat (Felis silvestris catus or Felis catus) is a small, typically furry, carnivorous mammal.

They are often called house cats when kept as indoor pets or simply cats when there is no need to distinguish them from other felids and felines.

They are often valued by humans for companionship and for their ability to hunt vermin.

There are more than seventy cat breeds recognized by various cat registries.

Dog types are broad categories of dogs based on form, function or style of work, lineage, or appearance.
