20+ Tireless Dogs Who Could Become “Employee of the Month”

Dogs were the first animals who were domesticated, and this happened more than 12,000 years ago. As a rule, people of that time used them for assistance in hunting, but today our 4-legged friends perform a lot of different tasks, from finding truffles to helping doctors. But their main calling is to make us better and wiser.

We at Bright Side never cease to be surprised by the intelligence and resourcefulness of dogs, and we are sure that they will always have something to amaze us with. At the end of the article, you will find a bonus proving that there is a job for absolutely every dog.
