This is a book about stray dogs. The relationship between a person and a dog is not as idyllic as it might seem at first glance; the rather controversial issue of who tamed whom goes deep into the history of mankind. But the descendants of those first undomesticated dogs, who have retained their habits, still live next to humans—stray dogs. Following in their footsteps - not counting those cases when he ran away from them - the author of the book travels around the world - from the suburbs of Moscow to the Australian deserts. The publication was carried out within the framework of the Pushkin program with the support of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the French Embassy in Russia.< /p>
