About this audiobook
Thirty thousand years ago, ice was storming the planet. Among the species forced out of the trees and onto the steppes by the advancing cold was modern man, who was both predator and prey.
No stranger to the experiences that make us human-a mother's love and a father's betrayal, tribal war and increasing famine, political intrigue and forbidden love, joy and hope and devastating loss-our ancestors competed for scant resources in a brutal landscape. Mankind stood on the cold brink of extinction, but they had a unique advantage over other species, a new technology: domesticated wolves.
Only a set of extraordinary circumstances could have transformed one of these fierce creatures into a hunting companion, a bodyguard, a soldier, and a friend. W. Bruce Cameron's The Dog Master is an evocative glimpse of prehistory, an emotional coming of age saga, a thrilling tale of survival against all odds, and the exciting, imaginative story of the first dog.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I found the history and morals of this book astounding! Never have I felt compelled to share my thoughts in a review before The Dog Master!! Very intriguing read (listen).
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5W. BRUCE CAMERON'S writing has held my attention for the 5 days since I started to read The Dog Master. The narrator had a great voice of each person.
Throughout the story I could relate to history I knew The hunters and gatherers. The passionate relationships within the tribes. The presumed fighting for dominance.. My knowledge of the tribes through the USA and Canada from the natives who crossed the Bering Strait.
I really appreciated the summary by W. Bruce Cameron.2 people found this helpful
