Written by Roger Caras, one of America's most respected animal authorities and a former president of the ASPCA, and Michael Findlay, the book chronicles the rich world of domestic dogs, detailing breed histories, behavioural traits, and the unique relationships that have shaped canine and human civilisation alike. From the tireless working breeds of the Arctic to the refined companions of European courts, this volume presents a sweeping portrait of the dog in all its magnificent diversity.\n\nCaras brings his signature warmth and scientific rigour to the subject, crafting a text that is as accessible to the casual dog lover as it is informative for the dedicated enthusiast or breeder. The writing illustrates a deep respect for animals and a genuine curiosity about the natural world, themes that defined Caras's prolific career as an author and broadcaster. Whether you are seeking to understand the origins of a favourite breed or simply wish to deepen your appreciation of man's most loyal companion, this volume leaves an indelible impression — and may well change the way you see the dog curled at your feet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50736213983451,"sku":"2026200018481-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/425b112c-abe3-4c9e-b210-72be725ee2b5.png?v=1792122623","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200018481-secondhand-the-penguin-book-of-dogs","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
