LCCN 78-117172. While explaining much of the mystery of the dog, the author has not neglected the magic of this best of man's companions. The dog in his more familiar aspects is warmly appreciated in discussions of his place in the world's religion, art, literature, symbolism, and legend: and his service to man and to science is revealed through investigation of the truly remarkable work the dog has done and is doing. Finally, the author broaches the seldom asked question of man's responsibility to the ''turncoat'' animal, the only animal in the world which cannot really live without him. The book is illustrated with magnificent color plates, art reproductions and portraits of outstanding dogs, and with photographs and drawings, all attesting to the remarkable contribution the dog has made to the whole human adventure.
