Dogs have been humanity's closest animal companions for thousands of years, with evidence of their domestication dating back at least 15,000 years. Each breed carries distinct traits shaped by selective breeding for specific purposes—hunting, herding, companionship—yet all dogs share an extraordinary capacity to read human emotion and bond deeply with their owners. Their expressive eyes, especially in lighter or contrasting colors, have long captivated artists and stitchers alike, making them enduring subjects in folk art and needlework traditions.
