    If you are interested in wild canids and the theories of how dogs came to be domesticated, this in-depth article on the Australian dingo and the long history of interaction with people in Aboriginal communities is absolutely fascinating.

    Lots of interesting food for thought here, including cross-species nursing of dingo pups by women (also practiced in North America – see Derr’s brilliant A Dog’s History of America), “cruelling” handling by children, role of training and aggression, and more.

    Enjoy!
