Da quando gli antenati del cane 130.000 anni fa lasciarono la vita selvatica per convivere insieme alluomo, qualcosa e cambiato. Infatti, nonostante in natura fosse gia presente la convivenza fra specie diverse, cane e uomo hanno esaltato ai massimi livelli la cooperazione interspecifica, arrivando a veri e propri scambi culturali: il cane impara dalluomo e luomo impara dal cane. E questo lunico modo che lessere umano ha per poter carpire dal proprio compagno i segreti che lo rendono un animale particolare, una sinfonia a 4 zampe.Il libro racconta le origini, levoluzione, la psicologia e tutti i meccanismi che sono alla base di questo straordinario binomio unico nel suo genere ed unico in Natura; e rivolto a tutti i cinofili, dalluomo e dalla donna comune al professionista che intendono aggiornare le proprie conoscenze e magari vedere sotto un altro punto di vista cosa sia vivere il proprio cane.

Questo libro non vuole incentivare la compravendita di cuccioli appartenenti al Cane Lupo Cecoslovacco, ma al contrario vuole aprire la mente a una maggiore consapevolezza delle proprie scelte per il bene supremo degli animali. È riscontrato che quando si pone lattenzione su determinate caratteristiche, la mente si espande e vede tante nuove possibilita che prima erano sconosciute. Attraverso anche i vari racconti di vita vissuta in prima persona da parte di alcuni proprietari che si sono resi disponibili a lasciare un loro contributo, potrai entusiasmarti o scoraggiarti per limpegno che richiede vivere con un cane di questo tipo, ma anche appartenente a razze diverse. Questo si auspica possa servire a evitare gli innumerevoli abbandoni e soprusi a cui spesso la specie canina e soggetta, a causa di chi trascura il fatto che convivere con un cucciolo, e conseguentemente con un cane diventato adulto, necessita di: rispetto, amore, comprensione, pazienza, spazio, cure, educazione, gestione e alimentazione.
