“We have had civilizations without the horse, even without the wheel, but never without the dog.” With this fact as a starting point, the author takes the reader on an illustrated journey into the true daily life of humankind’s most intelligent companion, covering the dog’s history from its origins in the wild to its modern domestic incarnation. Hundreds of gorgeous photographs, capturing dogs as puppies and adults, both in packs and as individuals during the many activities they share with humans, make this "cube" the best possible tribute to dogs and to those who love their faithful companionship and helpfulness to humankind.
