I listened to an author who wrote a book on this topic on the John Batchelor show.

I am pretty sure dogs appeared (as wolves) at the first cookout.

Since dogs are smarter than people, they quickly realized that if they made nice, they would get a nibble.

We know where cats come from ... this was revealed a few days ago by musicman when he (possibly now facing charges by the Powers) let the metaphorical cat out of the bag

Dogs and wolves are sister clades.

They both stem from a now extinct wolf-like canid common ancestor that lived about 50,000 years ago.

Silly people, a chicken somewhere laid and egg that turned out to be a dog.

Genesis 1:26 King James Version (KJV)

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

.....

Man has always been in dominion over all other life on earth.

I cannot tell where dogs came from, but I can tell you they end up on the DNC debate stage.

Question for the group....

Science has long shown that intelligence is directly related to brain size....see, chimps, apes.....or dolphins, whales...

So why then isn't a Great Dane 100X smarter than a chihuahua?

What a boring, uninformative article. Well, it is the NYSlimes after all.

The enduring theme of these academics studying dogs is that dogs look to humans for food. Well, I’ve lost two beautiful Saint Bernard’s. These two dogs simply wanted to be with the people they loved — all the time. Amazingly loyal and loving creatures. Felt like they were the soul of the family.

Dogs and Humans together create a meta-organism - a creature more powerful and smarter than either of them alone. With dogs, you can hunt successfully.

They come from their mothers. Can I get a big government grant? I want to find out if that little light in the fridge really does go out when you shut the door.

Dogs ARE Mankind’s closest friend. Horses and camels and cats come next in that order.
