Question

What is a possible way that dogs became domesticated?

Answer 1

They were from their ancestorial species, the wolves, which became domesticated and turned into a housepet which is now known as dogs today. Same applies for lions turning into cats

Answer 2

Dogs were probably domesticated by accident, when wolves began trailing ancient hunter-gatherers to snack on their garbage. Docile wolves may have been slipped extra food scraps, the theory goes, so they survived better, and passed on their genes. Eventually, these friendly wolves evolved into dogs
