Well in this article from Spain, 6000 years ago, people lived in close proximity to their dogs, even being buried with them. Unfortunately for the dog, they had to be sacrificed when the times dictated. This brings up the relationship between human and dog. Family friend and guard dog, or a ritual killing. So were those dogs at Cuween Hill members of a hunting tribe, or were they they ritually killed? Perhaps even representing the spirits of humans?
