Abstract
The dog has always played a special role in the relationship with humans. This work aims to assess the most significant findings of dogs associated with human burials in Antiquity from the Palaeolithic. Dog burials are well documented from the Neolithic and have continued until the contemporary age, providing evidence, along with the remains and sources in literature, frescoes and paintings, films and comics, the extent to which the link between this animal and humans is indissoluble. In modern times the cases of legendary dog loyalty remain very famous, like those of Achiko, Pal’ma, Bobby, and Lampo.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
