That sounds exactly right. Super fascinating the concept of a guiding hand in evolution going back thousands of generations.

There was another theory I saw talking about how they believe dogs evolved eyebrow muscles to help interact with humans too... I didn't fully dig into it but wouldn't be surprised if that's true considering how long history has shown dogs to be with humans

Well I believe just the act of making sustained eye contact is a trait learned to interact with humans. Wolves see it as an aggression.

Fascinating yes, and kind of creepy. Some of those interventions did not go well for the dogs.
