TAR: Why is dog "man's best friend?"

[library lady <omar13rules@YAHOO.COM>]

A first grader is researching this topic...

Can anyone point me to a website or book that might
help explain how dogs came to be known as "man's best
friend"?

I can certainly list some reasons of my own, but I'm
not an authority on the subject.

Thanks!
