Being highly social and living in families is a special feature of canines. The basic theme is the same—differences are only quantitative. Family dogs have inherited most social traits present in ...their wild relatives, but they also need to learn about the peculiarities of social interaction. This is especially important if many dogs are living together in a human family.

In this book, we portray the dog both as an animal with a unique evolutionary history and as man’s (and woman’s) best
Without a doubt, the scientific interest in dogs has grown tremendously. Previously, dogs were considered “artificial” animals and of little interest to biologists studying the causes of behavior. ...However, things have changed, partly due to parallel developments of thoughts and research efforts in ethology, genetics, and evolutionary biology. Many researchers have realized that if scientific questions are asked in the right way, the biological study of dogs could provide valuable (and even generalizable) answers. These new insights have put dogs in the forefront of biology, and this is particularly the case for medical and behavioral genetics.
