No, dog domesticated man.
Now, over with that part, the writer seems to believe that early man (in the Paleolothic) didn't think of dogs as food items.
How strange. Of course they are food, and a very good food at that. You can call and whistle for one of your small dogs and he'll run and jump right up in your arms where you can begin the slaughter without a further word.
Even cows don't do that!
My 85lb. Pitador and 95 lb. Great Dane agree with you. Just look at all the free services and goodies they get out of us.
