Synopsis:

After coming across a photo of an ancient burial site in Jordan which showed a man and a dog buried together in a single grave, Jon Franklin began a decade-long investigation into the nature of the relationship between people and dogs. The result is this fascinating study, which combines elements of archaeology, biology, psychology, neurology, and sociology to explore how dogs came to be humanity's best friend and how both parties benefit from this symbiotic bond. Franklin organizes his wealth of data and research into a compelling new theory, wherein he proposes that wolves were domesticated by people some 12,000 years ago and the resulting connection fundamentally and physically altered the neural network of each species. Franklin illustrates his ideas with dozens of delightful anecdotes about his developing bond with his own dog, a poodle named Charlie, as he reveals the extraordinary history and science behind the most common human-animal relationship on the planet.
