Domestication of animals probably began with the taming of wild dogs. In most cases of domestication, humans benefit from the products of the animals (such as meat for food or wool for clothing) or from the animals' services and behaviors (such as horses used for transportation or cats killing pests). Sometimes the animals we domesticate are purely for our enjoyment (like cute guinea pigs and rabbits).
