Acclaimed author-illustrator Don Brown takes readers on a journey through history and around the world, from the evolution and taming of wolves 40,000-20,000 years ago, to the revered cats of ancient Egypt, to the birth of the barnyard, and to the present day, when pets are part of our families. Full of fascinating facts and key developments in the domestication of animals, Brown demonstrates the many ways that pets have shaped humankind, like protection, herding, and emotional support, and even saving lives.
