The domestic dog
1995
The Domestic Dog provides an account of the domestic dog's natural history and behaviour. Chapters cover the dog's domestication and evolution, behaviour and behaviour problems, and human-dog interactions. Dogs have been part of human society for longer than any other domestic species. They exist in a greater variety of different shapes and sizes, and they occupy a wider ecological niche, from pampered pets and faithful servants to feral scavengers. Even our attitudes to dogs seem to oscillate between extremes. On the one hand, the dog is man's best friend, on the other, he is the despised and degraded outcast.
