Brief Synopsis: Since prehistoric times, humans and dogs have shared a unique
bond and both have served each other well.
Long Synopsis: Since prehistoric times, humans and dogs have shared a unique
bond and both have served each other well. Early people discarded food and
as a result, wild wolves cast fear and caution aside, following and approaching
their two-legged neighbors until they became less wary of each other. As
humans hunted, fished, herded, and hauled, they found ways to benefit from the
presence and talents of these animals. Over time, both learned to work together,
rely on, and like each other. This book is a fascinating look at the distinct
groups that have developed - hunting, herding, working, and companion - as
humans selectively bred dogs to bring out desired attributes. Stunning
illustrations, maps, and fascinating information combine to explain the origins
and characteristics of typical breeds within each grouping. Little Lions, Bull
Baiters & Hunting Hounds is an indispensable book for any dog lover and
a wonderful guide for those about to choose their own canine companion.
