Prehistoric humans loved their pets.
#1
We can conclude that prehistoric humans loved their pets from burial sites. Animals were buried with people or they were buried with objects. These burials were thousands of years ago, sometimes more than 7 thousand years ago. In some cases much more  than that.

Clearly animals and especially dogs were very much a part of human lives even more than 20 thousand years ago. 
The more they study ancient humans and how they lived, the more we find that dogs and other domestic animals were an important part of those lives. 

Our pets are not just our best friends. It seems they are also our oldest friends.

This is so touching. It brought tears to my eyes. What a lovely thread. Thank you Catherine. I hadn't read about that before.

I felt the same way. We know now that our ancient ancestors were very much like us. They loved their animals and cared for them and honoured them in death. Our relationship to animals goes back a very long way.

Some of the abuses and misuses of animals are perhaps a more modern thing. If we want to connect with real traditions that go way back in time we need to treat out animal friends with respect.
