Brethren of Paws: Understanding Pet Culture, Bonding, Adoption, and Care

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Domesticated animals have been kept as human pets throughout history. The bonding process between human and animal occurs on a mutually beneficial emotional and social level that creates safety for the animal and a loving focus for the owner.

This book focuses on the domesticated animal as an adopted part of a family, including the methods of adoption, the problem of overpopulation, organizations that seek to protect animal rights and care, pet insurance, animal loss, and much more.

After all, who rescues who?
