It’s no secret that it’s dogs that hold the title of man’s best friend, and they have for quite some time now. But before they became the lazy, unbearably cute and seemingly always snackish creatures we now share our sofas with, they were animals confidently roaming the wild. (Yes, that’s probably difficult to imagine looking at your dog trying to break free of yet another weird position or place it found itself stuck in.)

Nowadays, every dog owner’s camera roll is brimming with proof of said critter being a human’s loyal companion. But if you’d like to see some images dating tens if not hundreds of years back, scroll down to find some of the best posts shared by ‘A History Of Dogs’ Instagram account, and enjoy.

Below you will also find Bored Panda’s interviews with the creator of the Instagram account, as well as the professor and chair of Florida Gulf Coast University's department of Biological Sciences, Charles Gunnels, who was kind enough to answer a few of our questions about domesticated animals.

The story behind this is fun, too. In short: Astronauts always took photos with family members. Animals however were not allowed, so with some help he sneaked them on the premises and had to prevent them from barking, had quickly the photo taken and the helper got the dogs off the premises in a flash.

    Created roughly five years ago, ‘A History Of Dogs’ has already amassed close to 140k followers on Instagram, who enjoy seeing fun dog pictures from different time periods pop up in their feed. If you’re curious to learn how it all started, the reason was pretty simple—the mastermind behind the account simply put together the two things they love most.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    “I'm a dog lover and history buff so combining the two was fun for me,” they told Bored Panda in a recent interview. “I enjoy the storytelling and research involved in each post. I wish I had more time to do it.”

    It will likely come as no surprise, but the dog enthusiast creator of the Instagram account is a dog owner themselves. “Dogs are the best,” they said, adding one of their favorite stories about their pet:

    ADVERTISEMENT

    “I used to have a terrible boss. When I brought my well-trained, fully potty-trained dog to my boss's studio for the first time, he walked in and immediately took a piss on my boss's personal bag. I was apologetic, but I know why my dog did it. Who else would do that? No one. Definitely not my cat, even though I love him a lot too.”

I read somewhere that she said she got it from her father, who had a huge soft spot for animals, was always rescuing strays, and bringing them home to foster and adopt out. She grew up helping him with the animals they were caring for, and that set the tone for her lifelong commitment to animal welfare. One helluva cool lady. RIP Betty!

    Any dog owner would likely agree that even when their critter finds themself in some sort of a pickle or does something they shouldn’t have done (like peeing on their boss’s bag, for instance), they can look awfully cute. According to the biology professor Dr. Charles Gunnels, we often find animals’ goofy behavior to be quite adorable because we have co-evolved to domestic animals the same way domestic animals have evolved to us.

    “Much of the research has focused on domestic animals having evolved to us. For example, a recent study found that dogs—and not wolves—evolved a muscle above their eyes that allows them to raise their ‘eyebrows’ in a similar fashion to human facial expression. The follow-up study has not been completed yet, but I would expect that people show a strong preference for dogs that can produce this signal.”

    The eyes, the pose, the style 🤩

    It’s difficult to say when exactly dogs started drifting away from their predecessors, wolves, but some sources suggest that it’s a process that likely started roughly 40,000 years ago.

    “Humans and the willingness to associate with humans is the most important difference between wild animals and their domestic counterparts. Animals that were willing to associate and interact with humans made the first steps towards domestication,” Dr. Gunnels suggested, pointing out that those which avoided humans remained wild.

    “The domestication process and the willingness to associate or avoid humans is the first—and I would argue—the most important piece in the domestication process. You cannot domesticate animals that actively avoid humans. This final statement may be overly simplistic, but it is true.”

    The positive influence pets have on us is likely why so many people enjoy browsing animal-related content. “It would make sense that humans have strong preferences for something that they have benefited from throughout recent (10,000+ year) history.”

    Discussing what affects the well-being of the animal itself, the professor of biology suggested that three main factors tend to influence animal behavior the most, which are health and well-being, social environment, and genetics and how genes interact with the environment.

    I love this woman. Apparently, she was wild. Wore trousers (gasp!), smoked, drank, gambled. Her dad - the President - once said 'I can either run the country or I can attend to Alice, but I cannot possibly do both'.

    She's still alive. Was an actress. "Things were looking up for the 21-year-old Bradshaw, who had posed for Playboy, appeared on TV’s Dragnet, and scored a social coup at celebrity clothier Sy Devore’s Halloween party by arriving with Elvis Presley. She married producer Frank Ross in 1961; two years later he persuaded her to quit acting."

    Notice how many people are turning away from watching the Pope and looking at the dog who wandered into the crowd instead. Dogs just have that kind of head-turning charisma, you know, and can easily eclipse a Pope's coronation just by being there.

    I had a Great Pyrenees. His name was Potawatomi, but I often called him Sugar Cookie. When he was about 2 months old, he ran under my Mom's tire (a Vega if anyone remembers that, the cheapest car made) with his front paw and I freaked out. He limped with his paw out, got bunches of attention and checking it out and pets and then not even 2 minutes later he was limping and holding out his OTHER paw! He was a super sturdy giant dog. I can't even begin to imagine a 5 year old boy would be a burden.

    Sadly, the government convinced people that there would be food shortages leading to starving pets, and masses of pets were euthanized unnecessarily before the 'false war'.
