🐕Dog

Canis familiaris Linnaeus, 1758

For alternative betydninger, se Hund (flertydig). (Se også artikler, som begynder med Hund) Tamhunden (Canis lupus familiaris) er det husdyr, som tidligst blev tæmmet af mennesket, og som derfor har den længste historie til fælles med os. Den har gennem historien været brugt til jagt, som vagthund, krigshund (eks. anti-tank-hunde), sporhund, redningshund, eller som "følgesvend". Desuden som servicehund for blinde og handicappede, som politi- og redningshund, som narkohund eller som terapihund. Hunde kan også lugte sig frem til kræftsvulster, termitangreb og forudsige epilepsianfald.
