You're getting downvotes for some reason, but that's more or less how Neil deGrasse Tyson humorously puts it in Cosmos 2 [1]: "[...] This wolf has just discovered what a branch of his ancestors figured out some 15,000 years ago. An excellent survival strategy: the domestication of humans." [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQHBmY6LbiA
