Lying awake at about twenty to four this morning, I turned on the radio and chanced upon an item about the thirty three thousand year old skull of a sog that has been fouind in a cave on the continent. Given the difference in head shape and teeth distribution it is certain that this is rhe skull of what we night recognise as a dog rather then a wolf.
It would seem from this discovery that our hunter-gatherer ancestors were breeding dogs long nefore previously thought, in this case at the peak of the last ice age, It is odd to think that hunters and theit dogs may once have tracked their prey across the icy wastes that would have covered what now is Silverton.
It must have been a happier time for dog owners though. No need to carry a poop scoop and no £500 fines for those who failed to clean up after their furry pals and if your dog disappeared there would have been no dog warden or dog pound where you could locate them, it would be more likrely that they would have ended up asa snack for a passing bear, so no £100 charges for overnight stays. .
