I think dogs that were seeking food scraps and company, and naturally Humans would have thrown out food bit to the dogs and then its not a big leap to befreind a dog after that.

There is aschool of thought that says that unless we had domesticated and trained dogs we would not have been able to settle down in permanent homes with sheep, goats and cattle to live off.
