The dog theory (just a theory, don’t murder me)

I’ve been thinking about our relationship with dogs and how a long time ago they used to be wild animals (wolves) with features that allowed them to survive in harsh environments and how over many years, in collaboration with evolution, humans, using the technology available to us at different times (selective breeding etc.), have turned wolves into something different, a dog.

Because of this, our relationship with this animal has changed to one where we have become their care takers and feel responsible for their well being because most of them no longer have the features to survive in very harsh environments and because that relationship is mutually beneficial since we also obtain benefits such as companionship etc. But, for that relationship to work so that humans can ensure dogs’ safety and well being dogs have, in a way, become our captives and our species controls their species’ present and future with the best of intentions.

Now this is just a theoretical thought with no materialistic evidence and I’m not trying to convince anyone of anything, so please don’t murder me. But what if there are non-human entities and our relationship with them is not that much different to humans’ relationship with dogs. What if we started out as an experiment with a primitive animal, a primate, that over many years with a combination of evolution and the use of their technology has resulted in the human race. And what if we have been developed to a point where, even though we don’t realize it, we have a relationship with non-human entities where they feel responsible for our wellbeing and future but at the same time obtain benefits from us that we don’t know about such as scientific knowledge etc. and because of that, they control aspects of our present and future.

Now I know not everyone in the world feels the same way about dogs so not every non-human entity would necessarily feel the same way about humans but in general, that is humanity’s accepted relationship with dogs so what if, ET’s general involvement and relationship with humanity was not very different to ours with dogs.

Any thoughts?
