Humans and Their Animal Companions.
Why is it that of all the animals human beings have 'domesticated', the longest and most enduring connection has been with dogs and cats?
How have we physically shaped each other - and influenced each other's language and cultures? Could human civilisation ever have developed without our animal partners?
This authoritative and fascinating book looks at the whole relationship between domestic pets and their human owners. Are our pets agents of destruction for our environment - or are they vital to our health and survival? 'The Animal Attraction' is an enthralling account of an immensely subtle and complex relationship.
