When people began to collaborate in the dogs and hunting dogs to get a regular supply of food, but at the cost of a reduced proportion of muscle, assuming you have one.
Whole generations of ancestors of dogs were dependent on what you submit to them, and he began to ask for help next irreplaceable hunting and other services in addition: guarding property, grazing herds, pulling sleds, fight for fun ...
