About this episode
The relationship between humans and big scary wolves has come a long way to give us tiny fluffy lap dogs with very discerning tastes in expensive food.
Whose idea was it? Was it the wolves who wanted the warmth of the fire, or the humans who wanted protection from the other scary carnivores?
And take a look at the first archaeological evidence of a beloved family pet preserved with its human family for almost 15,000 years!
