"Non stuzzicare il can che dorme."
The dog is a domesticated descendant of wolves. Also called the domestic dog, it was selectively bred during the Late Pleistocene by hunter-gatherers. Dogs and the modern gray wolf share a common ancestor.

"That flaming dog has messed on our steps again. Its the one species I wouldnt mind seeing disappear from the face of the earth.

For a dog is a gentleman, with kindliness in his heart and dignity in his demeanor—kindliness and dignity being, I think, the two qualities which make a gent a gent or not."
