Unsolved mystery.

There is one question I've always thought about, well, aside from complicated questions about the existence of time travel or the perils of dimension hopping, and this is it: WHERE THE HELL DO DOGS COME FROM. We have always seen dogs as domesticated animals, but what about dogs in the wild?? (Aside from wolves). I'd love to know if there are packs of dalmatians or pugs or golden retrievers out there somewhere. Maybe they're running around in some forest. Or the jungle! I need to know.

But alas, I am still not interested enough to actually research this topic.
