So I picked up Rusty today to help look after him while his owner is in hospital having fallen down stairs and hurt her neck. He is fun to go for long walks with as he is never far away from me. I am reminded that dogs have been around humans for thousands of years. They think wolves and wild dogs came near the warm campfires and were thrown bits of left over meat, or maybe they were hunting and hunting people came to follow them as they scented animals and they hunted together.
Much more likely in my opinion is that in the far history people manged to bring up puppies and the natural bond that develops between the baby animal and the human grew with them and everything that wad to be long walks and hundreds of varieties started there.
