Features: This book collects the history, legends, myths, and folklore of various dog breeds, revealing the image of dogs in the hearts of people from different ethnic groups and countries. It also provides rich and detailed knowledge about dogs, making it a vivid and engaging illustrated encyclopedia for all readers who want to learn about dogs. "A Basket of Dog Encyclopedias" takes us back to the beginning of the relationship between humans and dogs, their civilized and domesticated stages, and further into history, tracing back to the period when humans and dogs hunted together as mutual partners before dogs became domesticated livestock for guarding and protecting homes. Some people believe that the dogs people keep are actually descendants of wolves, but this view is actually incorrect. The authors of this book clearly do not make such a mistaken claim. Dogs, of course, are not the descendants of those wolves that were raised by humans to hunt wild wolves or protect livestock from invasion—the so-called "Judas wolf."
