Isn't amazing what some people will say to promote their work:-
Quote "The dog's story is yet another intriguing aspect of this nationally-important find and illustrates the special relationship between humans and dogs that has existed for thousands of years."

So special that they felt they could kill it

What she should have said was:-
Quote "In those days people were as ignorant and uneducated as any that we can imagine, they were living a life of extreme hardship, their own lives were based on a kill or be killed daily routine so sacrificing this dog was nothing unusual for them"

To which I can only add that not much has changed in 2000 years in some parts of this planet

Agreed. some people haven't changed a bit.

found it a really interesting article, liked it

The Artist's Impression is interesting.
I think they've got the ears wrong (would surely be larger and more pointed), but it looks rather like a Picardy Sheepdog, or if the coat was curlier, a Laekenois.
