Scientists found a small piece of dog bone in a cave in England. The bone is 15,000 years old. This shows that dogs lived with people much earlier than we thought.
The first dogs came from wolves. The wolves stayed near human camps and ate leftover food. Slowly, they became friendly. People used these early dogs for hunting and protection.
The bone was very small, but it told scientists a big story. It showed that dogs and humans were close friends 15,000 years ago. Dogs ate the same food as people. They traveled together across Europe. Today, all our pet dogs come from these ancient animals.
