A bit of dog history
Scientists believe that the modern dog, Canis familiaris, evolved from Miacis, a creature resembling a weasel that hunted small prey on the earth some 40 million years ago. By about 15 million years ago, Miacis had evolved into the wolflike Tomarctus, which gave rise to the current canine species, including dogs, wolves, coyotes, jackals, and foxes.
