The human-dog bond was already mutually beneficial back then, but in a slightly different form than it is now. After wolves began scavenging food scraps from humans, the idea of providing them with shelter and safety to domesticate them was born.
As a result, wolves began to assist humans in hunting for food, eventually evolving into the dogs we know and love today. However, these ancient dogs were used for more than just practical purposes.
Dog skeletons dating back over 14,000 years have been discovered buried with human partners. Even back then, humans had a strong enough emotional bond with their pets to honor them in life and death.
And now we honor our pets by immortalizing them on the internet.
And honestly, that feels about right.
