Pets in America : a history
Katherine C. Grier, University of North Carolina Press (Publisher)
Shows how the history of pets has evolved alongside changing ideas about human nature, child development, and community life. The author demonstrates the ways we talk about and treat our pets - as companions, as children, and as objects of beauty, status, or pleasure - have their origins long ago.
