- Summary:
- The Dog - Man's best friend and companion for ten thousand years. But how much do we really know about our four-legged friends and where they came from? Dogs are the most diverse species of mammal on the planet - there are an incredible 340 breeds each with their own distinctive appearance, character and super-power. Great Danes are an incredible 20 times bigger than a Chihuahua; Dobermans naturally guard us, whilst a Poodle will comfort. With nearly a billion estimated worldwide, it's surprising that only recently have we really begun to understand the lives of our beloved dogs, with scientists just starting to uncover their emotional and intellectual genius. Through their extraordinary powers to read our emotions, take our perspective, and exceed our physical ability, our closest companions have been able to join us in all walks of life - truly earning the name man's best friend.
