Should You Take Your Dog?

Dogs have been traveling with people for thousands of years. They accompanied them across the Bering land bridge from Asia to the Americas some 10,000 to 15,000 years ago; indeed, without dogs to pull heavy objects and warn of predators, people might not have survived the arduous journey. Later, traders from the Phoenicians onward carried various types of dogs from port to port, exchanging them along the way for other goods. Toy dogs accompanied great ladies wherever they went, and war dogs accompanied the Romans as they marched through Britain some 2,000 years ago.
