Guaranteed to wag your tail, this ABC book will have you panting for more.

In almost 40 per cent of households in North America, dogs are kept as companion animals. Dogs may be man's best friends, but what are humans to dogs? If these animals' loyalty and unconditional love have won our hearts, why do we so often view closely related wild canids, such as foxes, wolves, and coyotes, as pests, predatory killers, and demons? Re-examining the complexity and contradictions of human attitudes towards these animals, Dog's Best Friend? looks at how our relationships with canids have shaped and also been transformed by different political and economic contexts. Journeying from ancient Greek and Roman societies to Japan's Edo period to eighteenth-century England, essays explore how dogs are welcomed as family, consumed in Asian food markets, and used in Western laboratories. Contributors provide glimpses of the lives of street dogs and humans in Bali, India, Taiwan, and Turkey and illuminate historical and current interactions in Western societies. The book delves into the fantasies and fears that play out in stereotypes of coyotes and wolves, while also acknowledging that events such as the Wolf Howl in Canada's Algonquin Park indicate the emergence of new popular perspectives on canids. Questioning where canids belong, how they should be treated, and what rights they should have, Dog's Best Friend? reconsiders the concept of justice and whether it can be extended beyond the limit of the human species.

I just love sunny days! A: To tell you the truth, I don’t care for them. I don’t want to get dark. D: I do. The sun helps our bodies produce vitamin D. A: Also, it’s boiling when it’s sunny and humid. D: I won’t argue with that. However, it’s so lovely when it’s sunny, dry, and just a little windy. A: Not for me. Rainy days are still the best. D: Really? Why? A: I love the sound of rain, and it makes everything smell so clean and fresh. Part A： 丹尼斯：妳看那萬里無雲的天空，我實在好喜歡晴天！ 愛波： 老實跟你說，我不喜歡晴天。我不想曬黑。 丹尼斯：我倒是想曬黑，陽光能幫助人體製造維他命D。 愛波： 而且晴朗又潮濕的天氣簡直要把人給熱暈了。 丹尼斯：關於那點我沒話說，不過，晴朗乾燥又有微風吹拂的天氣相當怡人。 愛波： 我不覺得。還是下雨天最好。 丹尼斯：是嗎？為什麼？ 愛波： 我喜歡下雨的聲音，而且雨水讓所有的東西聞起來都好清新。 Part B April and Dennis are changing their plans because of the weather. 愛波與丹尼斯因為天氣要更改他們的計畫。 (Dennis = D ; April = A) D: I have some bad news. We have to cancel our picnic tomorrow. A: Why? It’s only a little cloudy. D: Well, I just checked the weather report, and a storm’s coming. A: What? I didn’t hear anything about a typhoon. D: No. I’m talking about a storm with thunder, lightning, and heavy rain. A: Oh, I see. What do you suggest we do? D: I don’t want to take any chances. Let’s put the picnic off. A: OK, if you think that’s the best thing to do. Part B 丹尼斯：我有個壞消息，我們必須取消明天的野餐。 愛波： 為什麼？只是有點陰天而已。 丹尼斯：嗯，我剛剛查了天氣預報，有暴風雨要來。 愛波： 什麼？我沒聽說有颱風啊。 丹尼斯：不是的，我是說有打雷、閃電和豪大雨的那種暴風雨。 愛波： 喔，原來如此。那你建議我們要怎麼做？ 丹尼斯：我完全不想冒險，就把野餐延後吧。 愛波： 好，如果你覺得那是最好的做法。 Part C April and Dennis are preparing for a bad storm. 愛波與丹尼斯在為一場強烈的暴風雪做準備。 (April = A ; Dennis = D) A: Wow! It’s really foggy out. D: It’s only going to get worse, so we need to prepare for the big snow storm. A: Right. We already have warm blankets and new batteries for the flashlights. D: Good. It’s going to be really cold and snowy. A: If it drops down to freezing, then the water in the pipes will turn into ice. D: Correct, so we need to collect and save water for drinking and cleaning. A: OK. I’ll start doing that now. D: Great. I’ll check how much food we have. Part C 愛波： 哇！外面一片霧茫茫的。 丹尼斯：天氣只會愈來愈糟，所以我們要做好準備，迎接強烈暴風雪。 愛波： 對。我們已經有保暖的毯子，也有手電筒要用的新電池。 丹尼斯：很好，天氣會變得很冷，還會下雪。 愛波： 如果氣溫降到冰點，那水管裡的水會結冰。 丹尼斯：是啊，所以我們需要儲水來飲用和清潔。 愛波： 好的，我現在就去儲水。 丹尼斯：好，我去看一下我們有多少食物。
