Canis familiaris (the domestic Dog).

Canis familiaris, the domestic dog, is a member of the genus Canis (probably descended from the common wolf) that has been domesticated by man since prehistoric times.

The dogs posed for me at Kanva Reservoir [ಕಣ್ವ ಜಲಾಶಯ]. The Reservoir is at the border of Ramanagara and Channapatna.
