Paperback. How the First Dogs Came to Be Estimates indicate there are about 525 million dogs living in the world today. In the United States alone, adoring people own approximately 78 million dogs of which there are 340 different recognized breeds. Along with these astounding statistics often comes the question of how this all came to be; where and when did this begin to happen? The gray wolf, enduring the blades of the most cutting media in the world, has been victimized by myths and fables in such magnitude that the animal became a symbol of avarice, viciousness and guile. No creature on the planet has been more reviled or more stigmatized. Yet the wolf is a distinct contrast to "Man's best friend" -- the dog. About 135,000 years ago, at the end of the last ice age, the wolf began its association with Homo erectus. Though the exact time for wolves transition into dogs is still under scrutinized scientific debate, there is no doubt that the lineage of all dogs is directly connected to wolves. In As Comes Man - Arrives the Dog, Russell M. Cera has written a graphic narrative of how humans and wolves began a momentous relationship. Mr. Cera transports you back into the pristine world of our prehistoric ancestors to witness the initial bonding of Man and wolf. The reader becomes audience to the remarkable evolution of both. You will hear the lore of the ancient people's connection to the gray wolf. You will see the transformation of a Neanderthal-like creature into a man. You will observe the conversion of the wolf into the beginnings of the beloved dog. You will feel man's exhilaration and the animal's comfort to the first touch of a human's hand to lupine fur. The author's story is fraught with trepidation, perilous adventure and heartbreak, but all are overcome by indomitable courage, glory and ultimate joy. It is a chronicle about the sadness and happiness of men and wolves in their arduous journeys through life. As Comes Man - Arrives the Dog is a sensitive account and spellbinding tale of how the chance connection between Man and wolf would impact the two distinct species and ultimately alter both in their transcendence into the modern world.
