Baylor University Press's Reviews > A Dog's History of the World: Canines and the Domestication of Humans

“Filled with fascinating information and thoughtful reflection, this book should be read by anyone who loves dogs or wants to understand people.”
—ROGER S. GOTTLIEB, author of Engaging Voices: Tales of Morality and Meaning in an Age of Global Warming (Baylor University Press, 2011)
and Spirituality: What It Is and Why It Matters

“A surpassingly beautiful reflection replete with graceful stories and moving realities, this elegant book will open up every reader to the history, breadth, and depth of a profoundly interesting cross-species communion.”
—PAUL WALDAU, Associate Professor of Anthrozoology, Canisius College

“What makes this book special is not so much the topics addressed but the smart, balanced, and humane way in which Hobgood-Oster engages the conversation. The book gives even those familiar with the great dog debates new perspectives to think about, and for those who are not already immersed in the field, this is an excellent place to start.”
—ANNA PETERSON, Professor, University of Florida
