Cr�ticas:

Filled with fascinating information and thoughtful reflection, this book should be read by anyone who loves dogs or wants to understand people. -- Roger S. Gottlieb, author of Engaging Voices: Tales of Morality and Meaning in an Age of Global Warming (Baylor University Press, 2011) and Spirituality: What it Is and Why it Matters Who has domesticated whom? In this tracing of our mutual development, beyond boundaries of social group or location, A Dog's History of the World reminds us that no matter how or when, relationships with dogs are part and parcel of being human. -- Stephanie Varnon-Hughes -- Anglican Theological Review
