Research suggests that dogs became man’s best friend starting about 14,000 to 29,000 years ago when cave-dwelling humans of the last ice age started this interspecies friendship. When the weather became cold, cavemen and women started feeding leftover meat to wolves that came to their settlements. Scientists believe that since humans don’t need to an entire deer, that feeding the spare meet to wild wolves, ultimately lead to the evolution of dogs. At some point, humans realized that wolves could be used as companions on hunting trips, which was one more step in their evolution. This theory agrees with genetic research conducted on some of the oldest known dog remains suggesting the domestication process started in Eurasia 20,000 to 40,000 years ago.
