And Man Created Dog

I watched this National Geographic Special “And Man Created Dog”. It was very informative and interesting. It talked about how our ancestors 32,000 years ago came in contact with the wolf. Human and wolves didn’t know how to react at first, but over time they found a common bond. In those early day, wolves were known as camp wolves. They found out the humans left garbage, which made it easy for them to eat instead of hunting for their own food. One day a camp wolf protected her pups from a wild animal and got killed. By her protecting her young, she inadvertently saved the humans too. The humans took the young pups in and from that day there was a special bond. Our ancestors bred the wolves and only kept the ones who were less aggressive. Over many years, the wolves evolved into the dogs we know today. Now, there are over 400 breeds of canines and 70,000,000 dogs are living in our households today.
