Is there any evidence to suggest that humans have ever preyed upon other apex predators? I'm finding it hard to imagine humans would hunt down wild dogs / cats

Is there any evidence to suggest that humans have ever preyed upon other apex predators?
I'm finding it hard to imagine humans would hunt down wild dogs / cats for food.
Additionally, if lab mice can voluntarily run 10km in an evening, doesn't that alone shoot holes in this theory? My understanding was the theory indicated humans could outrun grazing animals.
A quick search shows the Australian Kelpie can run 60km in a work day, and apparently the Australian Dingo has been know to travel 40km in a day.
Here's an article[1] about long distance runners having canine companions because their human friends couldn't keep up.
