Dogs Through History

Rating:
Summary: The role of man's best friend down through the centuries
Review: Accessibly written for the non-specialist general reader by Maxwell Riddle (Founder of the Ravenna Kennel Club and experienced judge of countless dog shows), Dogs Through History is an informative and fascinating look at the role of man's best friend down through the centuries. Black-and-white photographs showing dogs in ancient art illustrate this scholarly and definitive history from the domestication of the dog as a hunting companion and family defender, to how people viewed canines in China, Tibet, Japan, India, Africa, Scandinavia, and many other nations over the centuries. Highly recommended for dog lovers eager to know more about the worldwide saga of their beloved pets, Dogs Through History is an important and welcome addition to any personal, academic, or community library Pets & Wildlife reference collection and supplemental reading list.
