Episode 34 of MARS MESSINA PRESENTS poses the question, "How did dogs become man's best friend?" and tries to answer this question. How did the dog evolve from the wild wolf, one of Homo Sapiens' most dreaded competitors in nature, into our lovable and loyal mate? Some theories are discussed here, as well as how some specific breeds evolved. BEDTIME STORIES FROM THE ACOUSTIC BOOKSHELF wraps things up with a poem by Rudyard Kipling, called, THE POWER OF THE DOG.
