Dogs, on the other hand, are canines. They are a pack of animals, which means you should spend lots of time with your dog so that it doesn’t get lonely. A dog goes woof, bark, growl, or howl, complete opposite of a cat. The canine group also has a particular social status, and how they determine their ranks.The determining factor in dogs is the tail. In dogs, how high they hold their tail is how they determine ranks. If one dog meets another dog, and one holds it’s tail up, it is the one of the higher social class. Dogs, however, are day animals. Another very obvious difference between dogs and cats is that dogs are usually bigger than cats. Dogs are also somewhat smarter than cats in the area of verbal command. For example, you can call your dog by name and usually it will come to you, unlike a cat. Also, you can train dogs to do tricks when commanded. Some of the most commonly seen tricks in dogs are role over, fetch, shake hands, sit down, lay down, and play dead.
