Wherever humans have gone in the New World, dogs have been their companions, from the time people crossed the Bering Land Bridge some twenty thousand years ago.
In this remarkable history of the interaction between humans and dogs, Mark Derr looks at the ways in which we have used canines-as sled dogs and sheepdogs, hounds and Seeing Eye dogs, guard dogs, show dogs, and bomb-sniffing dogs-as he tracks changes in American culture and society. From the Spanish conquest of the Americas to the English colonial period, from the age of revolution to slavery, from World War II to the Vietnam War, Derr weaves a remarkable tapestry of heroism, betrayal, tragedy, kindness, abuse, and unique companionship. The result is an enlightening perspective on American history through the eyes of humanity's best friend.

reviewed A Dog's History of America: How Our Best Friend Explored, Conquered, and Settled a Continent on May 16, 2012 A Dog's History of America: How Our Best Friend Explored, Conquered, and Settled a Continent
This book was a real eye opener! After reading it I did a number of searches through our university library system and elsewhere for similar works, and found that very little has been written either by historians or anthropologists on the role dogs have played in the historical movements of humans around the world. There's been very little written at all on the role dogs have played in human history. Odd, given that they may have already been domesticated as our species was moving into Neanderthal territory and competing with them. It goes to show how thoroughly we take dogs for granted.
