something was wrong. The vet sticks a needle into his paw and after several agonizing minutes for little Max he was dead and disposed of like a piece of garbage just because he was in the shelter for too long. Unfortunately Max is not the only dog that is euthanized due to being in the shelter for too long.

This world changing event affected not only the two species involved, but the environment and all other species that would come into contact with the bonded pair. Yet, as important and historic as the event was, it has been difficult for researchers to determine the moment in time and space when domestication occurred.
