Prehistoric Times Middle Ages Pre-Modern Era Modern Era Ancient Civilizations Pets fulfill several functional roles. But companionship still forms the primary function of a pet. The first domesticated animal was wolf, predecessor to the modern dog. Pet keeping, though rising in popularity, was still considered to be unnatural. Pet keeping and pet breeding became formalized and a way of life. The concept of working dogs and pet ownership came into practice.
