A dog’s paw print, left around 4,000 years ago, has been discovered on a mud brick at Tavsanli Hoyuk, an archaeological site in western Turkey. Archaeologists uncovered the brick amid the rubble of a Bronze Age house.
The impression preserves a trace of the animal on material used for construction. It also belongs to a much longer history of close relationships between humans and dogs in the region, extending back thousands of years.
