Dogs in Other Cultures.

People have loved dogs for centuries. And why not? Dogs have provided warmth, protection, and loyal companionship while labouring alongside man. Almost every culture boasts its own breed. There's the Egyptian Pharaoh Hound, the Tibetan Spaniel, the English Foxhound, Germany's monkey-faced Affenpinscher, and the Chinese Shar-Pei, to name but a few.
