Dogs are our best friends. They are our oldest too, for dogs and humans have lived closely together for thousands of years. This fascinating and up-to-date account unravels the current debate about the relationship of dogs and wolves, and explores dogs in mythology, religion and in ancient cults as different as those in Alaska, Greece, Peru and Persia. Compares the histories of dogs in the Far East, Europe, Africa and the Americas, discusses the relatively recent phenomenon of dog breeding and the invention of species, and the roles of dogs in both science and fiction. Also shows how dogs today contribute to our lives in a huge number of ways, not only as pets and as guide dogs, but in literature, movies, scientific studies and - in Asia - as sources of food. Reveals how we have shaped dogs over the millennia, and how dogs have shaped us.
