Cave of Dogs

Okay kiddo, let's talk about something called the cave of dogs. It's a special place where people used to live a long time ago, thousands and thousands of years ago. The cave has a lot of different rooms and corridors and it's really dark inside.

But the reason people call it the cave of dogs is because scientists found a lot of dog bones inside the cave. These bones belonged to a special kind of dog that is now extinct. That means they don't exist anymore, kind of like how dinosaurs don't exist anymore.

Scientists think that these people who lived in the cave thousands of years ago used these dogs for hunting and maybe even as pets. They would go out and hunt with the dogs and bring back food for their families to eat.

It's really cool that we can learn so much about the past just by looking at the things that people left behind. And the cave of dogs is a great example of that.
