Come here Doggy!

Sit!
Good Doggy!
Today's word, as hinted in the two phrases above, is Latin. Yes, Latin! I know it's not English but is still understood by many people. Canis lupus familiaris. The scientific name for a domesticated dog. Its understood by scientists and zoo keeper (probably).
In a sentence:

Dog
Do-g

Canis lupus familiaris
A species in the genus Canis that is a common household pet.

Dictionary meanings are hard! All that pronunciation guide and meaning wears a little boy out!
So, bye!
