Most of the natives had dogs around these parts. I don't think they'd be all lovey dovey about them like we are but they coexisted and benefited from each other. A dog in bear country is a huge asset. Or to pull you over snow in a sled. Near here in the lower Fraser valley evidently the tribes on the north side of the valley had dogs with very wooly hair. They used to make blankets out of the wool. Those dogs are now extinct.
