Thirty thousand years ago, ice was storming the planet. Among the species forced out of the trees and onto the steppes by the advancing cold was modern man, who was both predator and prey. No stranger to the experiences that make us human-a mother's love and a father's betrayal, tribal war and increasing famine, political intrigue and forbidden love, joy and hope and devastating loss-our ancestors competed for scant resources in a brutal landscape.

Only a set of extraordinary circumstances could have transformed one of these fierce creatures into a hunting companion, a bodyguard, a solider, and a friend. The Dog Master by W. Bruce Cameron is an evocative glimpse of prehistory, an emotional coming of age saga, a thrilling tale of survival against all odds, and the exciting, imaginative story of the first dog"-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "Thirty-thousand years ago, the fate of humanity rested on our ability to adapt to the last great glaciation, when ice stormed out of the north and forced us out of the trees and onto the steppes, where we were both hunter and hunted. Wolves, too, whose fortunes rise and fall with the health of the herds, could sense something different in the wind. When Silex, the young leader of the Wolfen tribe, brings tribute to a clever she-wolf, everything changes. The alpha wolf learns that in times of famine she can turn to man for food, a lesson passed on to her descendants"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 414-415). 650 0 $a Wolves as pets $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Prehistoric peoples $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Human-animal relationships $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Social behavior in animals $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Dogs $x Evolution $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Domestication $v Fiction. 650 7 $a FICTION / Historical. 650 7 $a FICTION / Historical. $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 856 42 $3 Cover image $u http://www.netread.com/jcusers2/bk1388/639/9780765374639/image/lgcover.9780765374639.jpg 941 $a 3 952 $l EYPC755 $d 20240117011645.0 952 $l GHPD771 $d 20210204024613.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20170722010735.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=24D1F6B86EA311E79084E9F2DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
