Dear reader, the video is a little lower. The dog is a domesticated descendant of wolves and has been one of humanity’s closest companions for thousands of years. Also known as the domestic dog, it was selectively bred during the Late Pleistocene by hunter-gatherers long before the development of agriculture. Genetic studies suggest the domestication process may have begun more than 25,000 years ago.
