<p>The first species to be domesticated, dogs have been selectively bred over thousands of years. Today they¿re man¿s best friend ¿ but while many are pets, many, too, are working animals: for the police, for the blind, as guard dogs, as sheepdogs, pulling sleds and as therapy animals. <br>Arranged in chapters covering physical characteristics, senses, lifecycle, communication, behaviour and working dogs, <i>Dogs</i> is a hugely informative visual celebration. From huskies to German shepherds, from collies to Chihuahuas, Shih Tzu to Jack Russell Terriers, Labradors to Bullmastiffs to Dachshunds, the book includes a huge range of breeds. <br>With fascinating captions on every page, even dog lovers will learn something new. Dogs is a brilliant examination in 150 outstanding colour photographs.</p>
