A unique and compelling exploration of why humans need animal
companions - from dogs and cats to horses, birds and reptiles - as
seen through the eyes of bestselling author Jacky Colliss Harvey.
In The Animal's Companion, the acclaimed author of Red: A Natural
History of the Redhead explores the human desire to share our
everyday life with pets, a history that can be traced back to a
cave in France where evidence has been unearthed of a boy and his
dog taking a walk together, some 26,000 years ago. From those
preserved foot and paw prints, Colliss Harvey draws on literary,
artistic and archaeological artefacts to sweep readers through
centuries and across continents to examine how our relationships
with our pets have developed, but also stayed very much the same.
Through delightful stories of the most famous, endearing and
sometimes eccentric pet owners throughout history, she suggests
fascinating new insights into one of the most long-standing of all
human love affairs.
