While our ancestors hunted with bows and arrows, dogs were by their side as faithful companions. It is thought that the first domestication of dogs may have taken place 16,000 years ago.

Ever since, our love of animals has remained unbroken around the world. For example, every year, consumers spend billions on pet supplies; in Germany alone, this figure is just under 5 billion euros.
