Sinopsis
Dogs are our constant companions: models
of loyalty and unconditional love for millions
around the world. But these beloved animals are
much more than just our pets - and our shared
history is far richer and more complex than you
might assume.
Here, historian and dog lover Chris Pearson reveals
how the shifting fortunes of dogs hold a mirror to
our changing society, from the evolution of breeding
standards to the fight for animal rights. Wherever
humans have gone, dogs have followed, changing
size, appearance and even jobs along the way - from
the forests of medieval Europe, where greyhounds
chased down game for royalty, to the frontlines
of twentieth-century conflicts, where dogs carried
messages and hauled gun carriages.
By turns charming, thought-provoking and
surprising, Collared reveals the fascinating tale of
how dogs became pets.
