The documentary raises a simple question: “Why are dogs and humans so closely connected?” The answer seems to lie in the evolutionary process of dogs. The relationship between humans and wolves, the origin of dogs, dates back 20,000 years. Wolves got a taste for human leftovers and eventually formed friendships with people. This was the catalyst for the evolution of dogs. In other words, the theory goes that dogs “survived the competition for survival by being friendly.”
