Description:
It is thought that dogs first emerged some time during the Ice Age, around a million years ago. There is archaeological evidence that they existed in 1600 B.C. and by 2000 B.C. the dog was fully domesticated; it hunted with men of the New Stone Age, shared their food and fires and guarded their caves. To compile this book Patricia DaleGreen embarked on a fascinating voyage of discovery which took place through time, across space, in depth. She investigates dog s ancestors, the work and nature of the many breeds of domestic dog; of dog-demons, mythical dogs and sacrificial dogs.
What of man's relationship with dog? The author explores the myths and legends that have grown up around this odd affinity through the ages. Man it appears has run the whole gamut of emotions in his relationship with the animal; for he has not only venerated dogs, he has despised them and dogs themselves have surely suffered as much as they have gained from man's interest.
DOG will appeal at many levels; it is a wide-ranging book taking in folklore, mythology, anthropology and symbolism, there is no doubt it will increase our insight into human psychology. Superbly illustrated with some unusual photographs including a dog-ghost, the Hounds of Heaven and the Hounds of Hell and the strangely beautiful dogheaded St. Christopher.
