About this audiobook
"Dogs and All About Them" by Robert Leighton offers an enriching journey into the world of dogs, celebrating their rich history and the enduring bond they share with humans. The anthology's centerpiece, "The New Book of the Dog," meticulously chronicles the significant roles dogs have played throughout history, from ancient civilizations to the early 20th century. As dog shows and clubs gained popularity in 1909 Britain, the demand for detailed breed knowledge became essential. This narrative satisfies that curiosity by providing comprehensive insights into diverse breeds, from the robust Mastiffs to the graceful Greyhounds, using the expertise of distinguished specialists. It explores the domestication process of dogs from wolves and jackals, highlighting their revered status in Egyptian culture and their literary mentions by Greeks and Romans. This work not only emphasizes the historical significance of dogs but also enhances the modern reader's appreciation of the unique bond shared with these loyal companions. This anthology is a must-read for those fascinated by canine history, breed characteristics, and the timeless connection between humans and dogs, making it an essential addition to any dog lover's collection.
