You have to check out two new episodes of NOVA on PBS called "Dog Tales" and "Cat Tales". Fascinating scientific information about the evolution of domestic animals from their wild ancestors and their unique relationship with humans.
For example, when animals are specifically bred for domestication (lack of aggression to humans) it also changes their appearance and other physical traits. Dogs are not smarter than wolves. Dogs are just so much easier to train because dopamine production makes them receive almost as much pleasure from human praise as from food. They are actually physically wired to be "man's best friend".
