A Dog's World: Imagining the Lives of Dogs in a World Without Humans - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

From two of the world's leading authorities on dogs, an imaginative journey into a future of dogs without people

What would happen to dogs if humans simply disappeared? Would dogs be able to survive on their own without us? A Dog's World imagines a post-human future for dogs, revealing how dogs would survive--and possibly even thrive--and explaining how this new perspective can guide how we interact with dogs now. Drawing on the latest findings on the lives and behavior of dogs and their wild relatives, Jessica Pierce and Marc Bekoff explore who dogs might become without direct human intervention into breeding, arranged playdates at the dog park, regular feedings, and veterinary care. They show how dogs are highly adaptable and opportunistic, and offer compelling evidence that dogs already do survive on their own--and could do so in a world without us.
