Best Friends: Mainers and their Pets
Humans and their animal companions began sharing lives about twenty-five thousand years ago, when, according to archaeological evidence and genetic studies, wolves approached people for food scraps.

Over time, these animals morphed into the dogs and cats we know today, becoming our home companions, our pets.
