Here's another thought.

Humans who took in wolves were at an advantage over their neighbors. Wolves made great watchdogs, so the humans could sleep better, and helped in hunting so everyone ate better. People who refused to let wolves live with them would have been less likely to reproduce.

Domesticating dogs changed the humans.

Let's just say everything changed each other. For the better? Who knows? My back hurts.
