While studying for cynology certification, I read this book for class. Written by a veterinarian and cynologist, I've never read a book that encouraged me quite this much to delve deeper into the subject and to cross reference so many other books. The appendix contains an overwhelming amount of books to further my studies. The book is worth reading just to find out the latest research into the origin of man, where he moved on land, and how he developed with the dog by his side beginning about 100,000 years ago.

Never a "yawner," this book kept me up until 3am many nights because I just couldn't put it down. The way the author explains theories and development of the domesticated canine is really a mind jolt. Thanks so much for such a great piece of work!

The author's references to other works on the subject is exhaustive and intriguing. I learned so much about so many things concerning the behavior, development, and the canine adaptation and domestication in this book. I could not even begin to tell you all the things I learned about dogs and cats that I never knew.
