It is difficult to determine exactly when the dog became a “friend of a person”. But we can assume that the domestication of dogs occurred about 10,000 years ago, back in the middle of the Stone Age. In some parts of the world, for example in South America and Asia, the dog was primarily a food source for humans, although most people valued the ability to hunt and protect the family in these animals.
Today dogs are, first and foremost, pets. However, in some Asian countries, canine meat is considered an ordinary food. Dogs are eaten in China, Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, the Philippines, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Congo, Ghana. High-quality dog ​​canine is rich in nutrients. It strengthens the kidneys, protects against hypothermia, improves digestion. The fat of the dog contains substances that successfully stop and treat lung diseases. However, there is an opinion that meat of stray dogs or dogs living on the street has the most curative properties, since they have strong antituberculous immunity.
