There is some interesting revolutionary research on "pets", that argues dogs "domesticated" humans not the other way around.

Other argue that both wolves (and eventually dogs) and humans found mutual advantage in their relationship. Both found they thrived better together than without one another.

One of the more interesting studies on species argues that species that adapt to humans including dogs, rats, cats, coyotes, etc. Have thrived in a world globally being shaped by humans. So, dogs and rats are thriving even if they use different strategies to do so. We are simply an "environmental" factor that other species adapt to or perish.

One of the most interesting theories is that dogs evolved from wolves that were rejected by their packs. Both humans and wolves are social creatures and rejected wolves found if they could provide the "human" pack advantages that they could thrive even if "wolf" packs rejected them. These advantages were tied to the superior night vision of dogs, sense of smell, and better hearing among other characteristics.

Overtime, dogs continued to exploit their advantages and evolved to better fill certain societal niches than humans. And as a result, dogs have thrived where other species have gone extinct. The study I found most interesting is that dog's brains excrete a specific hormone when they see their special human and humans do likewise when they see their special dog. Anyone who has a pet dog understands this... you simply feel differently about your own special dog than other dogs... and they feel the same way. Not exactly the relationship that slaveowners had with their own slaves.
