Etched into the valleys and slopes of the Arabian Peninsula,the 8000 year old hunting scenes even feature some dogs on leashes.Those images(the oldest archaeological evidence of dogs on leashes,suggests humans were controlling and training dogs even before they settled into farming communities.
The carvings come from the rock sites of Shuwaymis and Jubbah in Saudia Arabia
Scientists counted 156 dogs at Shuwaynia and Jubbah.
Similar to the modern Canaan breed in their appearance,the dogs have pricked ears,short snouts and curled tails,and look distinct from the hyenas and wolves depicted elsewhere.
The dogs are shown helping humans hunt lions,ibexes,gazelles,horses and other prey.the dogs on leashes are speculated to represent young dogs in training,older dogs at risk of injury ,or valuable scent dogs

BB, did you have your first dogs around 8,000 years ago, or earlier, when you were young
