From Wolf to Woof: The Story of Dogs

From Wolf to Woof: The Story of Dogs

"It's hard to imagine the childâ€”story-lover or fact-lover, dog-lover or notâ€”who would not be drawn in by this book."â€”The New York Times Book Review

How did dog become manâ€™s best friend? Dogs come in such a variety of shapes, sizes, and breeds, that it is hard to believe that they all have a common ancestor--the wolf! Hudson Talbott takes readers on a fascinating journey through history to see how wolvesâ€™ relationships with humans sparked their development into the dogs we know and love today.
Â
Striking paintings, from an adorable wolf pup to a wide range of modern-day dog breeds, illustrate this insightful story of teamwork and friendship. Through the eyes of a prehistoric boy and a lone wolf pup, we see how the bond between our ancestors and these wild animals may have developed. Starting as enemies competing for food, the wolf and the boy realize that theyâ€™ll eat better and be safer if they team up. Over time, others catch on, and as many of the wolves become more domesticated, the humans breed them for skills like hunting, herding, pulling, and rescuing. And today, there are more breeds of dog than of any other animal, all thanks to this relationship that started so long ago.
