But it was used very rarely and only to refer to a specific breed of dog until the 16th Century when, for more reasons unknown, it supplanted hund (still the German, Swedish and Danish word for "dog"), as the English word for the loyal and fuzzy quadruped.
Hund started out as the Indo-European word kuntos, which indicates that dogs were a part of human life in some fashion even back in the earliest days of language.
The Latin word for dog, canis, is the root of (obviously) the adjective canine, but also the words kennel and canary.
