Arranged in chapters covering physical characteristics, senses, life
cycle, communication, and behavior, Dogs is a hugely informative
visual celebration.
The first species to be domesticated, dogs have been selectively bred
over thousands of years. Today they're man's best friend--but while many
are pets, many, too, are working animals: as K-9s for the police, guide
dogs for the blind, guard dogs, sheepdogs, sled dogs, and therapy
animals. From huskies to German shepherds, from collies to Chihuahuas,
Shih Tzus to Jack Russell terriers, Labradors to bullmastiffs to
dachshunds, the book includes a huge range of breeds. With fascinating
captions on every page, even dog lovers will learn something new. Dogs
is a brilliant examination in outstanding color photographs.
