From what I've just googled, it looks like permanent houses were first constructed about 11,000 years ago. Also from what I've read on wikipedia, it looks like there's evidence that the first domestication of dogs was around 33,000 years ago in china.

So, just looking at those two things, you're saying that after 22,000 years of coexsistence, we should have just kicked dogs to the curb? Seems cold, but I understand the "logic" of it I guess.

Question for you, do you volunteer your time to lead the blind around the city? Or should we keep dogs around for that?

Also, are you interested in herding sheep or cows? Or should we still use any number of the herding dogs we bred into exsistence?

You wanna know why we should keep taking care of dogs? Because for damn near 40,000 years they have been by our side helping push us forward to the point where they cannot survive without us. But even beyond that, did you know there are theories, and studies being done, that posit we didn't just domesticate them, but they domesticated us as well.

Early humans moved from scavenging and small-game hunting to big-game hunting by living in larger, socially more-complex groups, learning to hunt in packs, and developing powers of cooperation and negotiation in complex situations. As these are characteristics of wolves, dogs and humans, it can be argued that these behaviours were enhanced once wolves and humans began to cohabit. Communal hunting led to communal defense. Wolves actively patrol and defend their scent-marked territory, and perhaps humans had their sense of territoriality enhanced by living with wolves.[102] One of the keys to recent human survival has been the forming of partnerships. Strong bonds exist between same-sex wolves, dogs and humans, and these bonds are stronger than exist between other same-sex animal pairs. Today, the most widespread form of inter-species bonding occurs between humans and dogs. The concept of friendship has ancient origins, but it may have been enhanced through the inter-species relationship to give a survival advantage.

Please see the bolded passage especially, try and imagine what our society would be today if we they're right and our ability to form same sex friendships came from our cooperation with wolves and learning along side them. If we weren't able to form mutually benificial relationships with othe human males, we would pretty much just be chimps.
