In ancient Egypt, dogs were treated like royalty.

They were kept as close to the

humans and they showed an incredible affection towards them.

The domestication of dogs may have began in Egypt. They played a role in many
different aspects of life, including being a communications device, protector and
hunting partner. Dogs would hunt wild animals like gazelles and antelope, which
would then be brought back to their human owners for food or protection from
predators during evening hours. Unlike later societies, dogs weren't seen as man's
best friend but rather they were given the same status as humans themselves.
The early remains of dogs were first discovered in Egypt. Egypt was inhabited
almost as soon as Africa was connected to the rest of the world. According to Henry
Bunn, a scientist that has studied ancient Egypt for a long time, Egypt is one of
the most remarkably continuous archaeological contexts. This means that Egypt has
had remains that have been studied by scientists for years and it hasn't changed
much over time because nothing new has developed in Egyptian culture since its
beginnings. The earliest evidence of domesticated dogs can be traced back to 3300
BC but they are thought to have lived with humans earlier than this date.

In Ancient Egypt, they believed that animals could be used as messengers between
them and their gods and goddesses.
They performed many different tasks. In fact, dogs in Egypt had multiple roles.
Dogs were used for hunting animals and some Egyptians believed that they could be
used as medicine. Some people even believed that they could communicate with their
gods and goddesses through dogs. Dogs were used to warn the people of enemies in
the form of barked warnings. And in ancient Egypt, they even believed that their
gods were represented by their dogs!

There was a special bond between humans and dogs in Ancient Egypt because they saw
them almost as humans themselves. According to Henry Bunn, an archeologist who has
worked with these remains for a while, they consider both humans and animals as
sacred beings so they treat them very respectfully.
In Ancient Egypt, dogs were buried with their owners because they considered them
to be members of the same family.
