Ice Age ‘puppy’ is found after 18,000 years buried in the permafrost
A perfectly preserved body found in the ice of the Siberian permafrost could be the oldest ever confirmed dog.
The 18,000-year-old pup nicknamed Dogor – a pun on ‘dog or wolf’ – was found in the summer of 2018 and has been studied since then by Love Dalén and Dave Stanton, 34.

‘It seems that dogs were domesticated from a lineage of wolves that went extinct. So that’s why it’s such a difficult problem to work on to understand where and when dogs were domesticated.
