Dogs are domesticated wolves, selected to be more friendly and less aggressive than their forebearers.

And here Catman thought dogs were sent here to destroy unnecessary throw pillows and attack vacuum cleaners.

Did we domesticate wolves, or did wolves domesticate humans? It was a mutually beneficial behaviour modification.

Did we domesticate wolves, or did wolves domesticate humans? It was a mutually beneficial behaviour modification. It was definitely mutually beneficial, but regardless of who was responsible, clearly it was the wolves/dogs that did the changing. By the way, just playing devil's advocate here. I'm not against dogs. I love them, not quite as much as cats, but still love them.

God sent dogs to Earth with a note for us reading 'Don't judge, just love'
The dogs ate the note, but are still trying to deliver the message.

Interesting facts: Modern wolves (not the forebears of dogs) are more dog than dogs are wolves. Over the centuries dogs occasionally went feral and joined wolf packs, contributing more and more dog DNA to wolves. The wolves that were domesticated into dogs are extinct, a mutual ancestor of dogs and modern wolves. There also were prehistoric "dogs" that were solitary hunters but were outcompeted by big cats and went extinct.
