Lorenz. Written with warmth, wit, and scientific rigor, Lorenz traces the origins of dog domestication, arguing that different breeds bonded with humanity through distinct evolutionary paths tied to either the wolf or the jackal. With charming anecdotes drawn from his own menagerie of animals, he illustrates the psychological and emotional bonds that make dogs uniquely attuned to human behavior, presenting each breed's temperament with the authority of a lifelong naturalist. The tone is both scholarly and deeply personal, making complex behavioral science accessible and thoroughly entertaining to any reader who has ever shared their life with a dog. A timeless classic, it remains one of the most beloved and insightful accounts of the human-animal bond ever written.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48839383187675,"sku":"2026770002153-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/e35088c3-2442-4da7-ad05-129c50ba9012.png?v=1780561108","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770002153-secondhand-man-meets-dog","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
