Canines and humans have depended upon one another for tens of
thousands of years. Humans took the initial steps of domesticating
canines, but somewhere through the millennia, dogs began
dramatically to affect the future of their masters. In A Dog's
History of the World , Laura Hobgood-Oster chronicles the
canine-human story. From the earliest cave paintings depicting the
primitive canine-human relationship to the modern model of dogs as
family members, Hobgood-Oster reveals how the relationship has been
marked by both love and exploitation. Canines have aided and been
heir to humankind's ever-increasing thirst for scientific
advancements, empire building, and personal satisfaction. They have
tested equipment for space exploration, fought beside us in war,
and advanced countless industries. But Hobgood-Oster reminds us
that, just as canines would not have flourished without humans,
humans would not have flourished without canines. They have been
our healers, licking wounds and providing therapy to the sick and
troubled for countless years. Weaving together archaeology,
history, and literature, Laura Hobgood-Oster conclusively shows
that humans would not be what they are without the presence and
influence of canines, that the human-canine relationship has never
been one sided, and that humanity's temptation to exploit canines
is never far away.
