Why is anything named anything? We inherit words from the peoples who came before us. 'Dog' derives from the Old English word 'docga', but we don't know why that word was used. The Romans used 'canis', and other languages derive their words from this, for instance 'chien' in French.

The word "dog" can be traced back to the Middle English word "dogge," which possibly originated from early Germanic languages. As languages evolved, the term "dog" became widely accepted and used to refer to our canine companions. There is no single individual who decided on this term, as language development is a gradual and collective process.

there is no exact answer to this question. but it generally believe that humans domesticated wolves after seeing the similarities. humans and wolves would have hunted the same foods, lived in similar pack structures, and would have been living along side each other. humans probably stole puppies from a den and raised them to help hunt. as we evolved into a society so did our wolves evolve into dogs of many breeds. humans and dogs have coexisted for around 10,000 years.
