Aprašymas

An expert at the Dog Genome Project and acclaimed science writer team up for this entertaining children's book about about the origins of today's dogs.

Dogs, dogs, dogs--humans love their dogs! And with nearly ninety million dogs in the United States alone, it's no surprise we see them everywhere and every day. But what are the origins of today's pooch? How long have dogs been our best friends? As it turns out, dogs and people have been connected for an extraordinarily long time. Tens of thousands of years ago, dogs didn't even exist. But an ancient extinct wolf species, the genetic ancestor of our current dogs, did. And over thousands of years and through countless generations, this wolf species evolved into the hundreds of dog breeds we have now.

Through informative, engaging text and playful illustrations, the history of the dog is explored, from its beginnings as an ancient predator to the canine companion of today. Written by science writer Suzanne Slade and vetted by an expert at the Dog Genome Project, this fact- and fun-filled book is a celebration of adorable, talented dogs everywhere.
