WOLF-DOG-HUMAN

How did the fearsome, solitary, yet endlessly fascinating wolf of myths and legends become man's best friend? Why have wolves and dogs been the constant companions of human cultural development through every era? How did our ambiguous relationship with wolves become a driving force in human spirituality? And why are we so moved by the gaze of our canine companion?

In his book, renowned ethologist Kurt Kotrschal not only helps us to better understand our ancient fascination with the wolf, but also teaches us how to correctly approach our faithful companion – the dog. The book answers the question of how these two close relatives differ from each other, while also providing valuable insights into the coexistence of humans and their best friends.

The publication received the Austrian Science Book of the Year award in the field of medicine and biology.
