Dogs: History, Myth, Art by Catherine Johns is a richly illustrated tribute to humankind’s oldest and most loyal companion. Drawing from an impressive array of artworks and archaeological artifacts, Johns explores the presence of dogs throughout human history—not just as pets, but as symbols, guardians, hunters, and mythical figures across diverse cultures. From ancient Mesopotamian carvings to classical Roman mosaics, and from medieval manuscripts to modern portraiture, this elegant volume traces the aesthetic and cultural legacy of dogs with scholarly insight and visual splendor.

Johns, a respected archaeologist and art historian, brings depth and context to each image, showing how dogs have shaped and mirrored human civilization. Whether you're a lover of fine art, an academic interested in the symbolism of animals, or simply a devoted dog enthusiast, this book offers an enriching journey into the canine-human bond through time.
