Listen " DOGS AND HUMANS: A LOVE STORY THOUSANDS OF YEARS IN THE MAKING - WITH JOHN LITTLEFAIR "

Episode Synopsis


In this episode of Never Just A Dog, John Littlefair explores the extraordinary bond between humans and dogs, from their ancient beginnings as wolves beside our fires to the deep, wordless understanding we share today.
Why do they choose us? Why do they stay, love, and trust us unconditionally? Through early literature, ancient carvings, and stories passed down through generations, we uncover how dogs have always been woven into human history—not just as companions, but as loyal partners in life.
Join John as he traces the origins of this timeless connection and the devotion that makes dogs family.
