Researchers from the the University of Arizona found a 12,000-year-old lower leg bone that belonged to a wolf-sized, adult canine at an archaeological site called Swan Point , located about 70 miles southeast of Fairbanks.

The bones contained traces of salmon proteins, indicating that canines were regularly eating fish that must have been caught by humans - a sign of domestication.
