How dog became Men's Best Friend

A Story by Ridhwanul

Once upon a time, in a distance land, where cows were men’s best friend before the dogs became the best, when the dogs did not even existed. It was a story of long, long time ago.

In that time cows were men’s best friend because cows were very helpful to human. Cows were discovered by Suzago Dog Li Cow and it was named after him. One day he came to know that cows gave some things that looks white and that was drinkable, so it was named ‘milk’. Cow’s skin could be used to make our clothes and also some other instruments. It was all discovered by Suzago and after his discoveries in every home a cow was there and this is how it became men’s best friend. Even some Hindus started worshiping it as their god. They think it has an incredible power to save them from their trouble though Suzago was not happy with their belief. He thought it was foolish thinking.

Everybody in the village would take their cows to the forest to feed grasses because people said that in the forest it was fresh. So one day when Suzago took his cow to the forest and set it in a place where there was enough grass for it, so that he could go deep in the forest to cut some wood. While he was cutting down wood, two wild wolves came to that place and were moving toward him, which quite proved that their intention was to harm Suzago. His heartbeat got faster and his mind started working on that what if his cow was eaten by this scary looking, wild animals. Suddenly, two strange creatures came in front of Suzago; they quite looked alike wolf, but some younger and gentle version of their specie. It barked at the wolves, and in return they showed their dirty, black teeth toward the younger version of them. There was a small fight between these two creatures and eventually the two wolves ran into the woods. The other strange creature wagged their tail and panted. Suzago was really impressed by these creatures for their bravery, so he again named this specie after his name ‘Dog’. He took these two animals and came out of the forest. His cow was there and it was all fine, so he started walking for his home with his pets.

All the village people were surprised seeing the dogs and everybody would ask him where he found them, and Suzago would tell them the whole story.

Some days later the two dogs gave birth to six more and slowly this specie extended all over the world and from that time men had two best friends, one was cow and the other was dog which was more precious because they were a good guard for the owner.

One day, at night when Suzago was sleeping a thief came to his house but it couldn’t do anything because his two dogs started barking and the whole neighborhood was awake because of its barking. That is why man started adoring the dogs more.

Eventually as the dogs were the friendliest animal, they were declared as men’s best friend.
