they were used to be domesticated....to do ordinary tasks People first used dogs to aid in hunting and also to warn of intruders. One theory is that packs of jackals would follow primitive man so that they could feed on the food scraps left behind as the nomadic groups would move along hunting. These packs of canines would stay with a group of hunters as long as their was food available. If another animal came near they would cry out or bark which would alert the humans to the intruder. It became a mutually beneficial arrangement.
