Fierce. Loyal. Brave. Keen Witted. Observant. Refuses to Shy Away from Danger. Does this sound like your Best Friend?
Dr. Jeannette Barnes has a passion for dogs that extends far beyond her calling as a veterinarian, and into the realm of history, anthropology and the shadowy regions of myth and lore--all inspired by their fascinating ancestry and development from wolves.
"All dogs, from the tiniest two-pound toy Yorkshire Terrier to the massive 200-pound Irish Wolfhound, emerged from this undomesticated animal," Dr. Barnes muses. "Do you want a small cuddly dog? Someone already developed the perfect dog just for you. How about a large, powerful hunting breed? Exactly the right dog exists. We've got dogs to sniff out cancer; dogs to dial 911; dogs as military heroes."

"There is a spiritual connection between dogs and humans," she insists. "I believe they were designed to be man's helper. But more than that, they have a long and fascinating history with man, as hunters, companions, demi-gods, and as a source of beauty and pride.
I can think of no place I would rather be, than In the Company of Dogs
