by SERPELL (Author)
This book takes a thought-provoking look at human attitudes to animals. The owner-pet friendship crosses barriers of time, race, sex and income. It appears in all countries, all cultures. Are our pets simply an artful collection of domestic parasites? Are they child substitutes, tame psychiatrists or simply four-legged friends who satisfy a genuine, caring and normal need?
