I love dogs! In fact, I have two dogs who live with me.

I have a dog as well. Dogs were the first species to be domesticated and have been "Man's Best Friend" for thousands of years!

Really, so they were domesticated before cats?

Yes, there have been dog remains discovered near human remains dating to 36,000 years ago!

Amazing! I wonder how those early instances of domestication happened.

That's a good question. The closest living relative of the dog is the gray wolf but scientists think there was another ancestor we haven't discovered yet.
