100 Years of Dog Breeding: Fascinating Photos of Hooman Intervention in the World of Doggos

Sometimes, we look at our lives, at all the pets surrounding us, all the toys and silly items that we buy them and think to ourselves… "we're living in the right moment historically, because there is no way we would have been able to obsess over our pets like this at any other time in history." And then, we remember that we're wrong. Because the love that humans have for animals transcends time, and you only need to see some vintage photos of pets to realize it. 

Did you know that navy cats use to have tiny hammocks on the ships they sailed - because yes, everything in that sentence is true.

Well, now's the time to find out.
