The story of humanity isn't just about people; it's also about our animals. From ancient times to today, pets have been deeply woven into our cultures, influencing our traditions, beliefs, and even how we see ourselves. Once simply workers guarding our homes or hunting by our sides, animals like dogs and cats slowly became more than tools. They evolved into revered symbols, sometimes even gods, appearing in art and buried alongside us. This journey shows a deep, long-standing connection that goes far beyond just owning a pet.
