How and why did dogs evolve to be so loyal and affectionate to humans?

I would just like to understand why my dog seems to see me as her person and not another animal she must fight or escape from.

We don’t know for sure, but I believe the most common theory is that they evolved from wolves that would at first hang around our hunter-gatherer ancestors waiting to finish up the scraps. Then this developed into a mutually beneficial arrangement with the wolves providing early warning of predators and hunting assist in exchange for food. Once you are at that stage it’s not hard to see how we got from that to what we have today.
