# Man's Best Friend

Why of all animal species, have people traditionally chosen the dog as their most popular pet? It's a relationship that may be as much as 12,000 years old. Explores the fascinating range of the dog world: from tribal dogs in Kenya to the pampered pets of the USA. Reveals how they have been bred for different qualities: guarding, hunting, pulling, herding, even temperament. 1 videocassette (60 min.) : 1/2 in VHS format Host: George Page Executive producer, David Heeley ; photographers, Alan Degen, Christopher Brown ; editors, Chris Lakeman Fraser, Revel Fox ; music, Jennie Muskett, Will Mowat ; director (for WNET), David Heeley Videocassette release of an episode from the PBS series Nature "PBS 287"--Cassette label
