Canine tooth found near Stonehenge 'on Britain's earliest journey' shows dogs were prehistoric man's best friend

A tooth dug up near Stonehenge shows dogs were man’s best friend way back in prehistoric times, experts claimed.

Archaeologists say they have unearthed evidence that shows an Alsatian joined what is believed to be the earliest journey in British history on a 250-mile trip from York to Stonehenge in Wiltshire.

The domesticated dog tooth was discovered at Blick Mead, about a mile from the World Heritage Site, with scientific tests showing the canine most likely came from York.
