Publisher's Synopsis
Dogs, so ordinary and familiar, accompany us everywhere. They sail on ships and conquer space. They live in the palaces of millionaires and the huts of the poor. Together with a man, they climbed to the upper floors of high-rise buildings, mastered small-sized apartments and high-speed elevators.
Man has bred hundreds of breeds of dogs, designed for a wide variety of purposes - hunting, herding livestock, protection of property and protection, just to have a loyal creature near him. Over the course of thousands of years, breeds have evolved spontaneously, under the influence of living conditions and human needs. Only in the last two hundred years has man begun to create dog breeds purposefully, based on specific tasks. Dog breeds are created, reach the pinnacle of their development and disappear when the need and necessity for them disappears.
