Sometime between fifteen and thirty thousand years ago , probably in the Middle East, the long, protracted process of domestication began to alter the genetic code of the wolf, eventually leaving us with the animals we know and love as domestic dogs. While there are several different theories as to exactly how dog domestication began, what is clear is that there were some wolves who were less fearful of humans than others. Over time, those wolves were incorporated into early human settlements. Perhaps humans and early dogs learned to hunt cooperatively – both species hunt primarily by outrunning their prey – or perhaps early dogs instead learned that they could avoid hunting by scavenging on the leftovers of human hunting parties . Whatever the initial reason for the incorporation of wolves into human society, there their descendents still remain.

During the expedition, around May 14, 1805, both Captains, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark , performed surgery on one of Seaman's arteries in his hind leg, that had been severed by a beaver bite.
