The dog was domesticated around 15,000 years ago, long before goats, sheep and cows (11,000 years), chickens (7,000 years) and horses (5,500 years).

Man's relationship with dogs is described as commensalism. This means that two different species live closely together such that each benefits without damaging the other.
