Especially as a native Californian, I'd rather see more media attention on stories like this than any focus on the dipsh!+s up in the People's Republic of Berkeley:
In conditions like that, it makes you wonder how much that might resemble the earliest proto-dogs, perhaps starving, packless and desperate, stumbling upon some accomodating humans.

I think that you are probably correct, but have you seen the theory that the first dogs to become domesticated might have been more clever than desperate? They might have seen that hanging out at the humans' site yielded scraps and bones and warmth in exchange for very little effort and danger.
Interesting, either way .... interesting to picture that scenario 20,000 years ago (or, as some molecular biologists now believe, 100,000 years ago).
