Dogs have been used as guards, hunters,
draught animals, drug and explosive detectors, and even as weapons.
In a landscape inimical to wheeled transport, and with no native
draught animals, such great civilisations as Chavin (about 1000 to 400 BC), Mochica (about AD 1 to 600) and Inca (An 1438 to 1532) managed remarkably well.
Ironically, in that isolated, mountainous area, generations of breeding sturdy
draught animals resulted in the most delicious beef that many of those folks probably rarely, if ever, tasted.
