Why does losing a dog hurt so much? Dogs aren’t just pets. They’ve been part of human life for roughly 20,000 years—about 10,000 years longer than cats and thousands of years before horses entered our lives. For millennia they’ve hunted with us, traveled with us, guarded us, slept beside us, and become part of our families. There’s also biology behind it. Humans and dogs experience mutual oxytocin release when we interact, strengthening the bond between us. Maybe that’s why losing a dog can feel so devastating. They’re often the family member we see every single day. What was the name of the dog you’ll never forget? #Dogs #DogHistory #Ethnocynology #Archaeology #Anthropology
