Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.
- Mark Twain, a Biography
If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.

Sablin explained that certain humans already had begun to partially control labor, trade and ritualistic social activities. The unequal distribution of resources led to a social hierarchy, with people of prestige and power getting Stone Age status symbols, like dogs. He said, "In this context it can be assumed that the large wolf-like dogs were used to guard not only against predators, (but also) their presence (at a particular site) may have indicated the high social status of the inhabitants." Am I the only one to think that maybe their higher status came from having the dogs? That they were used to help them hunt and protect their stuff rather then the dogs being a Stone Age Gucci bag.
Even just as an early warning system dogs would be very useful. (Not to mention, meals on legs)

Curious...there is not one shred of evidence presented that these "dogs" were domesticated or descended from wolves. Story telling and conjecture do not qualify as evidence. "14,000" ya (years old) - more conjecture. "Food for early man" - conjecture.
YEC skepticism.

That's 98000 dog years ago.
