Sometimes they can be seen with a scope from shore.

The domestic dog was once and still often is Canis familiaris as opposed to the wolf, Canis lupus , but the former which is really a subspecies of the latter is now Canis lupus familiaris. They may have also had hunting dogs with them as well. I find that a little surprising since it is our national bird. 78(1):61–78. ca 1630–1647.
