The correct answer isn't an option: thousands of years of selective breeding for the specific traits that make us happy

Longer than that. The oldest confirmed archaeological evidence of dogs and humans coexisting is 17,500 years old, with potentially other evidence about 33,000 years old.

We domesticated dogs a long time before we did the same for food animals (about 10,000 years ago).

Humans domesticated dogs before we had agriculture or stone buildings.

I'm...uh.... pretty sure those numbers you provided are neither hundreds nor millions....? They're thousands?

I guess I could have said "possibly as many as tens of thousands of years"? 🤷‍♀️

Either way the point was the selective breeding, not the duration of time it took to achieve
