How did dogs become man's best friend? Scientists know that all dogs descended from wolves, but controversies abound on what happened next. Domestication of dogs was one of the most extraordinary events in human history. Recent studies suggest that wolves largely domesticated themselves among hunter-gatherer people and became dogs over time. The Moon Wolf is a fascinating story of how it all began with Moony, a very special wolf-pup, found by a wolf pack among a bush full of white and silver roses.
