About This Book

This volume surveys the animals that share human households and labors across the globe, arranging chapters on companion pets, single- and cloven-hoofed helpers, beasts of burden, food-yielding livestock, poultry and songbirds, pet monkeys, aquarium and small exotic pets, and wild species trained for service. It summarizes breeds and behaviors, practical uses in work and food production, and collects anecdotes illustrating intelligence, training methods, and human-animal relationships, combining natural-history description with practical and cultural notes.
