I get a kick out of how my dogs have to do absolutely nothing, sleep on a $2000 mattress, and are kept warm or cool while we go out and work for them. They owe the hard work of their ancestors a lot - but then again, we owe ours a lot, too.

Domestication couldn’t have been that long ago, I couldn’t find any early Helen Thomas pictures with a dog.

Dog: Man's Best Friend for Over 33,000 Years Shore, Shirley! The Earth is 6,245 years old (last October), and dogs are 27,000 years older!

“Essentially, wolves have long thin snouts and their teeth are not crowded, and domestication results in this shortening of the snout and widening of the jaws and crowding of the teeth.”
Much as I believe dog domestication is very ancient (older than 33k bp), this statement is simply not true. There are wolf studies showing these characteristics in the wild.

....this statement is simply not true.Hey, this is a "news" story based on a "scientific" study.
Do you REALLY expect facts along with the entertainment-oblique-stroke-BS?
...even from FOX?
