  It's a classic meme to show a contrast between things, but we never see the other picture of the dog ancestor creeping up to the fire submissively with its tail down, begging the nice humans for a bit of meat from their food. Would I trust it as far as domesticated dogs, hell no. But they had their "cute" side at some point, otherwise we would have never formed a bond.

    Is that supposed to be a dog ancestor?

      I’m pretty sure it’s the Werewolf from “An American Werewolf In London” from 1981. (Still one of the best Werewolf movies out there)

      I guess it's supposed to be a werewolf technically. To ancient man though, a big hungry wolf would seem as much.
