Dogs and humans evolved with each other, and dogs helped human defeat neanderthals.

There’s a rest area just north of Yosemite, on US395.
Last time I was there, a Coyote was looking for handouts. your meme reminded me of that.

Yes!! That meme needs to be updated with all the recent research. It is more like 20,000 years later.

Dangit, you're too fast for me.
The discoverers were spotted later at the local Esselunga, buying a bad of Purina Really Really Old Dog Chow.

Later, researchers disavowed their findings, stating that the remains actually are human, genetically sequenced to the Rodham family line. To which Her Royal Heinous replied, “I know I come from a long line of b*tches.”

Found in Italy. Bet they named him ‘Fido’.

In the Neolithic they let him run around, nowadays he'd be confined to a penne.
Yeah, I know, but I wasn't trying very hard. ;^)
