 I wonder if that’s where dogs came from

That's close to what's assumed. Wolves probably realized that if they protected the humans, the humans would feed them.

I was being sarcastic, it’s exactly where dogs came from.  Wolves hanging around our campfire 30,000 or so years ago, begging for scraps.  Those wolves became more docile, evolving to the “proto-dog” which cohabitated with us for thousands of years.  The breeds we have today are the result of very unnatural selection, selective breeding to bring out the physical traits we wanted, usually for specific tasks the dogs were for, or for vanity.   They are all descendants of the proto-dog, and before that, wolves.

How did a proto dog evolve? What point did dogs split from wolves. Makes no sense to me and a may very well be dumb as a box of rocks.
