Check out our podcast Eons: Mysteries of Deep Time: ow.ly/2J4450Iu69U
We’re still figuring out the details, but most scientists agree that it took thousands of years of interactions to develop our deep bond with dogs. When did they first become domesticated? Where did this happen? And what did the process look like, in terms of genetics and anatomy?

Wealthy Ancient Romans used to construct entire mausoleums for their deceased pets, complete with funerary statues, tombstones, and epigraphs. One well preserved tomb at Herculaneum reads: “I am in tears, while carrying you to your last resting place as much as I rejoiced when bringing you home in my own hands fifteen years ago." Another such inscription reads: “My eyes were wet with tears, our little dog, when I carried you (to the grave)... So, Patricus, never again shall you give me a thousand kisses. Never again will you be contentedly in my lap. In sadness have I buried you, as you deserve, In a resting place of marble, I have placed you for all time by the side of my shade. In your qualities, sagacious you were, like a human being. Ah! What a loved companion we have lost” If that doesn’t tear your heart apart, I don’t know what will. Humans and dogs have a relationship unlike any other two animals. We were made for each other to be best friends. Quite literally in the case of the dog lol

The evolution of dogs positioned themselves in such an incredible way. Become the best friend and adoration of the most sentient apex predators on Earth. We literally do everything for them. They don’t even need to hunt or look for shelter anymore.

@mrreyes5004 2 года назад

I think that's another way humans have defied nature; early humans probably only worked together with canines in symbiotic mutualism, no different than how badgers and coyotes sometimes cooperate to catch burrowing rodents in the hilly plains or how eels and groupers work together in reefs to hunt fish. In other words, it was most likely a purely-business relationship between early man and proto-dogs, where they'd cooperate on a hunt and share the spoils but still keep their distance. Cut thousands of years later, and modern dogs don't even need to be very practical partners to be a human being's adored buddy. They don't have to risk their necks helping us hunt big game since grocery stores exist, but we still go out of our way to keep them properly fed anyway. They no longer need to help us find shelter since comfy houses exist, but we still go out of our way to give them proper shelter anyway. They don't always have to fight off threats to us (some breeds aren't even capable of it), but we still enact _extreme_ vengeful fury on those who hurt our canine comrades and do our best to keep them safe from external threats. Most symbiotic animals only help each other if it benefits them in some way (again, the earlier examples of coyotes and badgers or eels and groupers); if one partner species isn't being benefited in the short term or long term, they break off the cooperation real quick. Humans and dogs, however, have kept the partnership going for millennia even _LONG_ after the practicality of our dynamic has been outlived. It really speaks to what it means to be a true friend when two predators start working together to survive and, even after the cooperation is no longer necessary, _still_ continue peacefully eating, relaxing and living together in a world that endorses that only the fit individuals should survive.

This is over romanticized. I think our relationship with dogs has been tainted by capitalism, consumerism and lack of empathy. There are millions of dogs that get literally used for selfish, shallow purposes and literally tortured in mundane human life. This is not what they adapted for or even wanted. The inbreeding, experimentation and utilization as a form of technology. The domestication of dogs comes in one way, the human way. I really hope we start seeing dogs as they are. Individuals with sovereignty, followed by tons of rules of dog companionship.

@danielmorris6523 11 месяцев назад

If anyone hasn't seen it, there is a documentary by a fantastic Scottish naturalist called Gordon Buchanan who lived for three months on an island where there are wild Arctic Wolves. He would allow some interaction and once he learned not to fear for his safety (completely natural although wolf attacks on humans are extremely rare) he allowed one to approach him, who sniffed around, looked at him and was just curious. He says at that moment "I think I can see, how this fearsome predator, eventually became, man's best friend". These wolves were wild, and the interactions over those three months on this island is probably extremely similar to how it first happened between wolves and humans when they met, and instantly knew they shared "something" in common and would soon work, live, love and die together for thousands of years until this very day. Dogs keep us safe, they keep our pets safe and our homes safe, they work for us, fetch things, save our lives and live with us. Dogs are amazing... even though I own a cat (which works better for my circumstances in life).

The bond between humans and dogs is one of my favorite things in this world. Wolves are massive and scary, and, let's be real, humans are pretty scary too. And yet we've been partners and best friends since long before recorded history or civilization as we know it. Imagine the first wolf that nuzzled up to the fierce, clever apex predators that could control fire and build shelters out of the carcasses of its prey. Imagine the first human that saw a wolf scavenging for food and instead of seeing the howling monster that stalked through the night saw a hungry animal that just wanted something to eat. There's so much suffering and exploitation in our past, but it really seems like humans and dogs have always had a special bond of trust and loving companionship. I think that's pretty beautiful.

@Juan_Garcia 3 года назад

Yep they'll always be man's best friend

@Zaxares 3 года назад

I imagine the first human-canine bond probably arose out of sheer serendipity. My guess is that there was probably a lone wolf, either driven out by its pack or left behind because of injuries that resorted to scavenging from a human tribe. The humans probably tried to scare it off at first, or just tossed scraps at it in the hopes it would leave. Over time, the humans realize the wolf is alone and not a threat, so they just kinda tolerate its presence. And then, one night, when the humans have gone to bed and the wolf's gnawing on bones like usual, he picks up the scent of a more dangerous predator approaching, like a leopard or tiger (which have been known to prey on humans, even to this day!) Instinct makes the wolf call out a warning to his "pack", which wakes the humans and they drive the big cat off. And then they realize that having a guard animal around to help watch for intruders can be very, very useful, and the wolf is finally welcomed properly into the tribe. From there, the practice probably spread. Maybe more tribes pick up their own strays, adopt wolf pups whose parents have been killed (possibly even by the humans themselves), or tamed female wolves mate with wild wolves, but return to their human "packs" and their litters are born into an entirely new world of cooperation.

Mother wolfs with pups are VERY vulnerable, just like a prehuman with a baby, by teaming together, feeding the wolves, gaining trust, both parties could have more young, its extraordinary.... besides if you save a wolf a wolf is not stupid, it will see what you did for it, maybe a wolf followed a human but instead of being scared, he stopped, got on his knees and let the wolf come to him , he gave the wolf food BINGO BANGO a true relationship between man and wolf has began

@HarveyMeadowlark 3 года назад

I bet fire had a lot to do with it initially. Pre-humans would use fire to defend themselves from wolf/other predator attacks. But then, some desperate wolves probably made a slow, nonthreatening approach, because they needed the warmth and the shelter to survive. The wolf's instinct to behave as a member of a pack meant it quickly assimilated and cooperated with these older humans. Whether it was sharing food, warding off predators, warning it's human pack mates of a predators approach, and then eventually settling into the role of herding cattle and livestock, which was a really big development for the human-canine relationship.

@@tim6454 ya i agree. look at cats. they are nowhere near as loyal as dogs. some can be loyal, but if my cat when i was growing up was the size of my current german shepherds, he would have put me in the hospital many times. and we treated him well too. he would literally attack me for absolutely no reason all the damn time. i still loved him, but i couldnt have kept him if he was big enough to be dangerous. my daughter grew up with my german shepherds from when she was first born, and i never had to think twice about it. they would never ever ever hurt anyone unless that person was trying to hurt someone in our family. dogs really are amazing. i dont understand people that prefer cats

I always love learning about the human/canine relationship. When you study it, it really starts to establish itself as one of the most unique relationships in nature. How dogs can pick up on our moods, can sense when our women get pregnant, how they can sense when a person is friendly or acting strange. And on our side, how we have an almost unexplainable desire to pet them, how they can boost our mood, make us feel safe, protect our children. At the end of it all, humans and dogs have quite literally died for each other. I’ve seen my dog put herself between me and three stray dogs without so much as a millisecond of hesitation. It’s a relationship that could only be formed through tens of thousands of years of interaction, cooperation, and love

Techichis actually developed their small size through natural selection, not artificial selection. Like fennec foxes in Africa, Techichis in Central America had to deal with a pretty hot climate, so small body size and large ears provided an advantage to prevent overheating. North Americans only started collecting these small dogs a little over a century ago, bred them to have bigger heads, and named them "Chihuahua". (The original Techichis looked more like very small, coated Xoloitzcuintlis) The fact that humans have not invested a lot of time into inbreeding and other nonsense, is actually the reason Chihuahuas are one of the healthiest dog breeds, with one of the longest life expectancies. (So long as the owners don't overfeed them, because they are prone to obesity.) So it's pretty ironic that people always like to pick this breed as an example of "everything wrong with dog breeding."

My family's dogs were adopted when all of us kids were still in middle/high school. On Mother's Day, we met a pound puppy who went right up to our mom and gave her kisses and just wanted some petting and cuddles. When we adopted him, the shelter volunteers were so happy he was going to his forever-home. But he had separation anxiety, and we thought he might like a companion when we were gone. So we went to the pound again, and found a lovely girl who literally played with him so hard he threw up in the play room when they were introduced. They have been with our parents for twelve years, through us kids growing older and leaving the house. They still go nuts when we show up. And even my brother-in-law gets in on it because they adore him. I dread the day either of them pass away. They may not be of use like they did when they were barely domesticated wolves, but they are still so much a part of my life.

This was only about a year after losing my Beagle buddy, Jack, who passed while I was on the road. Since Noel, I have not thought that I could ever go through the pain again... Yet, last night, my wife rescued a Doxie that needed rehoming quickly. While I will always feel the loss of Jack and Noel, Boston has already taken my heart. Dogs make such a great bond with humans, that they leave a hole in our hearts, when they leave us, a hole that can't be filled, but a new dog will make a space in your heart too. Looking back, just a short time, when I thought I could never take in another dog friend again, I now already can't see myself not having Boston in my life. Doggos rule!
