Synopsis
Bestselling canine expert Stanley Coren uses amazing history, entertaining anecdotes, cutting-edge science and delightful illustrations to document the development of the unique relationship between dogs and people, from ancient times to today. Coren reveals that dogs have played a vital role in human evolution, and may have even been the defining factor separating successful "homo sapiens" from Neanderthals and other extinct branches of our family tree. While the specific roles of dogs in human life have changed over time, Coren shows that the most basic requirements of safety and companionship that each species provides the other remain essentially the same. He also investigates famous dogs in history, analyzes the science behind every canine's behavior, and shares a wealth of winsome stories and parables which prove that dogs are truly the best friend humanity ever had.
