Martin Clunes is happy to admit that with Mary, it was love at first sight; her soft, brown eyes, her perfect figure & that unstoppable wagging tail. As cocker spaniels go, she was perfect. It is a love that has taken them through puppy classes to the local dog show, a move to the country & even visits from a dog psychologist, & has often caused Martin to wonder: Where the hell did you come from? To find a satisfying answer to that question, Martin embarked on a worldwide quest to look into the history of dogs, & link the pampered pets of today with their wild ancestors painted dogs in Tanzania, dingoes in Australia & wolves in Yellowstone National Park, USA. He also explores how humans have shaped the dog breeds of today, visiting the Beverly Hills Mutt Club & meeting working dogs in several countries police dogs, hunting hounds & sled dogs. Accompanied by his stunning photography, Martins account of his discoveries, told with his trademark warmth & humour, is compelling & full of surprises. One thing is certain: at the end of this fascinating journey, Martin will never look at his own dogs in the same way again. The size of this book is 24cm in height & 16cm wide with 341 pages ...
