A Roman statue of greyhounds playing with one another, dating to the second century CE. Dogs were used as work animals and guards, and were kept as pets in ancient Rome. Varro, a Roman writer, said that every Roman should have a hunting dog and a guard dog. He preferred white dogs over black ones so that one could tell in the darkness whether they were looking at their dog or a wolf.{WHF} {HTE} {Medium} -- source link
