    People domesticate dogs before they domesticate horses.

    By like 20,000 years or so too, I dont think people realize how long we’ve been domesticating dogs

      More like 130,000 years. We have found dog burials alongside their humans that are 150,000 years old. Makes sense that the only species that has a hope of keeping up with us on long distance treks was the one we immediately domesticated.
